Issue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your widget is missing, cut off, or hidden behind another element. This is usually due to the stacking order (Z-Index) or container settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Check the Z-index<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Z-Index controls the vertical stacking order of elements. Elements with a higher Z-Index number appear on top of elements with a lower number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Select the widget, Container<\/strong>, or Section<\/strong> that is being covered up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Go to the Advanced Tab<\/strong>.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In the Layout<\/strong> section, locate the Z-Index<\/strong> field.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. In the Z-Index<\/strong> field, enter a number greater than 1 (e.g., 50 or 100) to bring the element to the front.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Check container overflow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If your widget looks “cut off” or disappears when moved near the edge of a container, the parent container might be hiding the overflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Select the Container<\/strong> that holds the widget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Go to the Layout Tab<\/strong>.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Expand the Additional Options<\/strong> section.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Set Overflow<\/strong> to Default<\/strong>. This allows content to extend outside the container borders.
      \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Check for Negative Margins or Absolute Positioning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Widgets can sometimes be pulled behind other elements if they have negative margins or are positioned absolutely without a defined Z-Index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Select the hidden widget. You may need to use the Structure window to select the widget<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Click the Advanced Tab<\/strong>.
        \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Open the Layout <\/strong>section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Check the Margin<\/strong> settings. If there are large negative values (e.g., -100px), set them to 0 to see if the widget reappears.
        \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Go to the Locate the Position<\/strong> setting. If Position<\/strong> is set to Absolute<\/strong>, ensure you have set a high Z-Index<\/strong> (see above) or move the widget to a different area of the Canvas<\/strong>.
        \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
