How can I fix the issue with the "sticky" position not working in Webflow when using the luxy.js smooth scrolling on the wrap luxy, section 7, reviews holder?

TL;DR
  • position: sticky breaks inside luxy.js because it uses transformed scroll containers.
  • Fix it by moving sticky elements outside the luxy wrapper, mimicking sticky with position: fixed, or excluding elements from luxy.js scrolling using data-luxy-el="fixed".

If the CSS position: sticky is not working in your Webflow project and you're using luxy.js for smooth scrolling, the issue is likely due to how luxy.js manipulates the DOM and scroll behavior.

Here's how to resolve it:

1. Understand the Conflict Between position: sticky and luxy.js

  • luxy.js works by applying smooth scrolling via translating elements, often overriding the native scroll behavior.
  • As a result, position: sticky will not work because the scroll container is not the default body or html—it's a transformed element, which breaks sticky positioning.

2. Identify the Scroll Container in luxy.js

  • If luxy.js wraps your content with a custom scroll container (e.g., #luxy or .luxy-wrap) and transforms it (e.g., using transform: translateY(...)), then sticky becomes ineffective inside it.
  • To confirm, check your main Luxy wrapper (likely #luxy or .luxy-wrap) and inspect whether it has a CSS transform applied.

3. Options to Fix the Sticky Issue

  • Option 1: Avoid Using position: sticky inside luxy scroll area

  • Either move the sticky element outside the .luxy wrapper, so it stays on the native scroll context.

  • This lets sticky function as expected.

  • Option 2: Replace position: sticky with position: fixed as a workaround

  • You can mimic sticky behavior by setting your element to position: fixed and adding custom logic (e.g., JavaScript) to control when it's visible or pinned.

  • This is more complex but works within luxy.js scroll setups.

  • Option 3: Disable Smooth Scrolling on Specific Sections

  • Modify luxy.js to exclude certain elements from its smooth scroll behavior by marking them with data-luxy-el="fixed" or similar.

  • This keeps parts of the page in the regular scroll flow, allowing sticky to work inside them.

4. Webflow Integration Tips

  • In Webflow, make sure your Section 7 (Reviews Holder) has no parent element with transform styles applied by luxy.js.
  • You can try setting the sticky element outside the .luxy wrapper by:
  • Moving it in the Navigator panel.
  • Or dynamically removing the transform from the wrapper using JavaScript if possible.

Summary

Sticky positioning doesn't work inside luxy.js's custom scroll areas because of transformed containers. To fix this, either place sticky elements outside of the smooth scroll area, mimic sticky behavior with position: fixed, or configure luxy.js to exclude certain sections from being transformed.
