Fixing backdrop-filter: blur Issue with Interactive Parent Elements

hey all, does any one know how to get around the fact that backdrop-filter:blur doesn’t work when one of the parent elements has an interaction applied to it? Trying to add a backdrop blur to the individual cards of testimonial section 33

How about applying box shadows?

Backdrop filters only affect semi-transparent elements. If the background is solid, the effect won’t be visible.

thats the wrong section

The same for this

don’t understand how that answers my question. thats not related

To which element you wanna add the blur? The parent / any specific child element
Lukas S.
·

the ones that are blurred haha
Ganesh U.

Gotcha 😅

honestly i think this is a webflow bug possibly

Webflow's Move interaction applies transform: translate(), which creates a new stacking context.
backdrop-filter only works on elements behind the blurred element, but transforms isolate it from the background.
This means that when the element moves, it breaks the blur effect

Any idea if there is a way around this?

Working on it

Finally! This works perfectly

.testimonial33_list {
    backdrop-filter: blur(10px) !important;
    -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(10px) !important;
}

no that didnt work you’re making the wrong element blurred. I found a workaround now that worked

<style>
  .testimonial33_content-wrapper {
    backdrop-filter: blur(8px) !important;
    -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(8px) !important;
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) !important; /* Add some transparency */
    z-index: 1 !important;
  }
  
  .testimonial33_list-left, .testimonial33_list-right {
    will-change: transform; /* This is already in your code */
    transform-style: flat !important; /* Override preserve-3d which can break backdrop-filter */
    backface-visibility: visible !important;
  }
  
  .testimonial33_list, .testimonial33_card-content-right {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 0;
    transform: translateZ(0);
  }
</style>

Ganesh U.
·

Having just this is fine bro. It did worked for me. Even though we're adding blur to parent element it did worked as expected
.testimonial33_list { backdrop-filter: blur(10px) !important; -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(10px) !important; }

It is but not highly noticeable. But glad you figured out the other way.
