How can I fix the issue with my navigation disappearing halfway while scrolling on my Webflow site?

TL;DR
  • Set the navigation’s position to Fixed and a high Z-index in the Style Panel.
  • Check for and disable unwanted scroll-based interactions like opacity or movement triggers.
  • Ensure parent elements don’t have Overflow: Hidden unless intentional.
  • Test across Responsive breakpoints for device-specific issues.
  • Publish and view the site in Incognito mode to verify changes outside the Designer.

When your navigation disappears halfway while scrolling on your Webflow site, it typically indicates an issue with your element's position settings, interactions, or scroll-based animations.

1. Check Positioning and Z-Index

  • Select your Navigation element in the Webflow Designer.
  • Under the Style Panel, ensure the position is set to Fixed (typically fixed to the top) if you want it to stay visible while scrolling.
  • Set the Z-index to a high value (e.g., 1000) to make sure it's layered above other content.

2. Inspect Scroll-Based Interactions

  • Go to the Interactions Panel (lightning bolt icon).
  • Check if there are any Page Scroll or Element Scroll animations affecting the navigation.
  • Look for any triggers that cause opacity 0%, display none, or movement out of the viewport while scrolling.
  • If found and unintended, disable or adjust these animations.

3. Review Overflow Settings

  • Select the parent sections or containers holding your navigation.
  • Ensure they are not set to overflow: hidden unless intentional. This could clip child elements when they're fixed in position.
  • Set overflow to visible where necessary.

4. Test Across Different Viewports

  • Use Webflow’s Responsive Mode in the Designer.
  • Check whether the behavior occurs only on certain breakpoints (e.g., Tablet, Mobile).
  • Navigation settings might differ per device, requiring specific fixes.

5. Publish and Test in Incognito

  • Publish the site to your staging domain (e.g., yoursite.webflow.io).
  • Open the site in an incognito window to rule out caching or browser extensions affecting behavior.

Summary

To fix disappearing navigation on scroll, ensure the element is position: fixed, has a proper z-index, no unwanted scroll interactions, and that overflow settings on parents allow visibility. Always test in published mode to confirm the changes.
