There can be several reasons why the scrolling animation is not working when you publish your site on Webflow. Here are a few possible explanations and solutions to consider:

Scroll trigger not set up correctly:

Make sure that you have properly set up the scroll trigger for the animation. In Webflow, you can add scroll triggers to elements by selecting the element, going to the Interactions panel, and choosing the "While scrolling in view" option.
Double-check that you have assigned the correct animation to the scroll trigger and that the animation is set to play when the trigger is reached.

Animation not applied to the correct element:

Verify that you have applied the animation to the correct element. In Webflow, animations are applied to individual elements or groups of elements. Ensure that the target element has the animation assigned to it.

Conflicting styles or interactions:

Check for conflicting styles or interactions on the element. If there are conflicting styles applied to the element or any parent elements, it could prevent the scroll animation from working as intended. Review the styles and interactions applied to the element and its parent elements to identify and resolve any conflicts.

Incorrect scroll position or section height:

Ensure that the scroll trigger is placed at the right position in the section and that the section height is set correctly. If the trigger is placed too high or too low within the section, or if the section height is not set appropriately, the scroll animation may not trigger as expected.

Browser compatibility issues:

Check if the scrolling animation works in different browsers. Sometimes, certain browsers have compatibility issues with specific animation effects. Test your site on multiple browsers to see if the scrolling animation works across all of them. If a specific browser is causing the issue, you can try searching online for any known compatibility issues and possible workarounds.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it is recommended to seek assistance from the Webflow community or contact Webflow support for further guidance.
