Question:
Why does my dropdown menu under a sticky header disappear too quickly on the live site (not in preview), making it impossible to hover and click submenu items?
Product:
Wix Studio Editor
I want my top navigation to include a dropdown under the “Work” menu item that users can hover over to access subpages like “Branding”, “Creative”, etc. I recently made the header sticky so it stays visible when scrolling. In Preview mode everything works fine, but once published live, the dropdown disappears instantly when hovering — I can’t move the mouse down fast enough to click any subpages.
What have I already tried:
- Reduced “Space above container” in the dropdown settings to 0px
- Checked the structure in the Layers panel — my menu is nested inside the sticky header container
- Verified that nothing changed in the menu or dropdown settings since it was working before
- I haven’t added custom code
- Noticed this issue only appeared after making the header sticky
Additional information:
Dropdown items are created using the default Wix menu (not a custom hover box or manual interaction). In the Editor’s Layers Panel, the dropdown doesn’t appear, so I’m not sure if it’s technically outside the sticky header container or affected by z-index/overflow. I’d like to keep using the default menu setup if possible.
