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.
- 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.
