Why 'On Appear' animations aren't showing — and how to fix it

If a box with an 'On Appear' conditional style animation isn't displaying, it's usually because the box extends beyond its parent box or the screen. This often happens on mobile screen widths when setting up responsive designs.

Why your "On appear" animation isn't working

If a box with the "On appear" conditional style doesn't show up and its animation doesn't play, it's usually for one of these two reasons:

  • The box with the animation is completely outside the screen

  • The box with the animation is completely outside its parent box
    Note: Even if the box doesn't overlap with the parent box, the animation will still play as long as the parent box's overflow setting is set to [Visible].

As long as the box overlaps even slightly with either the screen or its parent box, the animation will play and the box will appear.

Note: Appear animations in responsive layouts

If you change an element's size for different breakpoints, the animation's starting position can end up outside the viewport on narrower screens like smartphones. If a box doesn't appear during preview, check in the editor to make sure the box isn't extending beyond the screen. As long as part of it is visible within the screen, the animation will play correctly.
