Why is the [position:sticky] not working in Webflow?

If position: sticky is not working in Webflow, it is usually due to improper parent container setup, missing top values, or overflow issues. Here’s how to troubleshoot and fix it:

1. Ensure the Parent Element is not overflow: hidden

• The sticky element must be inside a parent that does not have overflow: hidden, auto, or scroll.
• Solution: Set the parent’s overflow to visible in the Style Panel.

2. Set a top, left, or right Value

• position: sticky requires a threshold value such as top: 10px. Without it, the element behaves as relative.
• Solution: In Style Panel, add top, left, or right values (e.g., top: 20px).

3. Check if the Parent Has a Height Constraint

• If the parent container has height: auto with no defined height, the sticky element might never engage.
• Solution: Ensure the parent has sufficient height; try setting a min-height instead.

4. Confirm the Sticky Element is Inside the Correct Parent

• A sticky element works only within its nearest scrolling parent (not the entire page unless designed that way).
• Solution: If sticky behavior is needed across sections, place it inside a wrapper that spans the required area.

5. Check Browser Support & Webflow Settings

• Some older browsers and Webflow-specific settings (like custom scripts) may affect position: sticky.
• Solution: Test in multiple browsers or inspect with the browser dev tools (F12) to verify it applies correctly.

Summary

To fix position: sticky in Webflow: (1) remove overflow: hidden from parents, (2) set a top value, (3) ensure the parent has enough height, (4) verify placement inside the correct parent, and (5) test in multiple browsers.
