Issue with Existing Animation Stopping When Adding a New Animation for Another Div in Webflow

Design help Animations & Interactions

I am encountering an issue in Webflow while working with animations. I have successfully created an animation for a specific div. However, when I add a new animation to another div, the previously created animation stops functioning correctly.

Here are the details of the issue:

  1. Initial Setup:

    • An animation was applied to a specific div (e.g., fade-in on scroll or hover interaction).
    • This animation worked as expected when previewed or tested.

  2. New Animation Added:

    • A new animation was created for a different div with distinct interactions and triggers.
    • Upon implementing this new animation, the previously functioning animation stopped working.

  3. Observed Behavior:

    • The initial animation does not trigger as expected.
    • The new animation works, but it seems to override or conflict with the previous one.

  4. Possible Causes Identified:

    • Conflicts between animations targeting elements with shared classes or global settings.
    • Overlapping triggers for the animations.
    • Misconfigured settings for “Affect Class” or “Affect Only Children” in Webflow’s interaction panel.
    • Timing overlap or animation order issues in the timeline.

Steps Taken to Troubleshoot:

  • Checked and ensured that each div has a unique class or ID to prevent conflicts.
  • Verified the triggers and scopes for both animations.
  • Reviewed the animation timeline to ensure no overlap or conflicts.
  • Tested each animation separately, confirming that they work individually.
  • Cleared browser cache and published the site to check for any Designer preview-specific issues.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists, and the original animation stops functioning whenever the new animation is added.
