How can I fix the issue where hover transitions are not occurring on a Webflow website when one element is hidden using visibility and has a higher z-index than another element?

If you're encountering an issue where hover transitions are not occurring on your Webflow website when one element is hidden using visibility and has a higher z-index than another element, there are a couple of potential solutions you can try:

1. Change the hiding method: Instead of using the visibility property to hide the element, try using opacity or display properties. Unlike visibility, opacity and display won't interfere with hover events. You can set the opacity to 0 or display to none to achieve the same effect of hiding the element while allowing hover transitions to occur as intended.

2. Adjust the z-index values: Ensure that the z-index values of the elements are set appropriately. Elements with higher z-index values will appear on top of elements with lower z-index values. In this case, if the hidden element has a higher z-index than the element you're hovering over, it could be preventing the hover transitions from occurring. Try adjusting the z-index values so that the hovered element has a higher value than the hidden element.

3. Use interactions: Instead of relying solely on hover interactions, consider using Webflow interactions to create the desired effects. With interactions, you can trigger animations and transitions based on various events, including hover, click, or scroll. This approach can give you more control over the animations and transitions, regardless of element visibility or z-index.

4. Use custom code: If the above solutions don't work, you can utilize custom code to overcome the issue. By writing custom JavaScript, you can create your own hover interactions that aren't affected by the visibility or z-index properties. You can target the elements, listen for hover events, and apply the desired transitions accordingly. However, keep in mind that this approach requires some programming knowledge.

Remember to preview the changes, clear your browser cache, and test your website thoroughly after implementing any fixes. Sometimes, clearing the cache can resolve unexpected behavior caused by previously loaded styles or scripts.

If you're still experiencing issues after following these steps, I recommend reaching out to Webflow's support or the community forums for further assistance. They have the most up-to-date information and can provide specific guidance based on your website's configuration.
