Hiding category filter text while maintaining functiona...

At a glance

The community member is having trouble hiding text while maintaining a category filter on their website built with Webflow. They have tried using the "move down 100%" instructions, but this does not remove the element from the published page. Another community member suggests using "display none" instead of "visibility hidden", as the latter still keeps the element in the DOM, which may be causing the issue. The community members discuss providing a read-only link to the specific page to help troubleshoot the problem further.

hi not sure if this is the correct channel for questions - i've copied the category filter 1 into my website and after linking the identifier fields below each product i've realised i cannot then hide the text and maintain the filter? i thought i was able to do this on webflow - i've seen the move down 100% instructions but this doesn't seem to remove the element from the published page

Would you mind sending a read-only link?

hey would you be able to help me out if you had time? thanks!

it looks like you were using the visibility hidden setting instead of display none - these are two completely different things. Visibility hidden renders the DOM (Document Object Model) without this element that this setting is set to hidden on. Versus display none, only hides it from showing up visually but keeps the element in the DOM.

Attributes need to be present within the DOM in order to be processed correctly. If you switch up your technique here, it should work as expected. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Also apologies for the delay here.
