If the slideshow on your Webflow website's homepage is not showing up in the published version but is visible in design mode, there could be a couple of reasons for this issue. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix this problem:
1. Check the visibility settings: Make sure that the visibility settings for the slideshow element are properly configured. In design mode, you might have unintentionally set the visibility to display, but in the published version, it could be set to hide. Double-check the visibility settings in the element's settings panel.
2. Check for conflicting styles or interactions: Sometimes, conflicting styles or interactions can cause certain elements to be hidden or not function as intended in the published version. Review your styles and interactions to ensure that there are no conflicts between elements on the page that might be affecting the visibility of the slideshow.
3. Double-check element placement: Verify that the slideshow element is placed correctly on the page and not accidentally hidden behind another element. Sometimes, when designing in design mode, elements can be moved or layered differently, which may cause them to be hidden in the published version. Adjust the element's position and layering if necessary.
4. Clear the cache and refresh: It's possible that the issue might be due to cached files. Clear your browser cache and refresh the page to ensure that you are viewing the latest version of your website. This can help rule out any caching-related problems.
5. Test on different devices and browsers: The issue might be specific to certain devices or browsers. Test your website on different devices and various browsers to see if the issue persists across all platforms. If the problem is isolated to a particular browser or device, it could be due to compatibility issues or browser-specific bugs.
6. Publish and check for errors: Ensure that you have published your website after making any changes. Sometimes, errors during the publishing process can prevent certain elements from displaying correctly. Publish the website again and verify if the slideshow appears in the published version.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be helpful to reach out to Webflow support or the Webflow community forums for further assistance. Providing specific details about your website setup and any relevant error messages can help in diagnosing and resolving the problem more efficiently.
