Overlapping layers problem

Hello. I am new to wixcode but already feel frustrated since nobody answered my last question. Here is a new one(maybe this round will be better). I am trying to layer several elements: a background strip, another transparent image(I did this because the container boxes do not allow for gradient, transparent color), several buttons. The buttons WILL not work no matter how many times I try to arrange the layers…pushing the background back, pulling the buttons forward, etc… I have tried every possible scenario! The buttons work fine when you pull them away from the transparent image(I am trying to place them on top of this image). I think these features are pretty basic and should work! :frowning: Anybody have any ideas??

Hi Sea2star,

It sounds like you have buttons that are positioned on a box, attached to the box. The image is over the box, but not attached to the box. Basically, you get to a structure like -

box
botton
another button
image

and when you change the ordering, you only move the image below or above the box.

In order to be able to position the buttons over the image and the image above the box, both the buttons and the image has to be positioned attached to the box.

But there is no container box, only an image(which I had to create in Photoshop since the container boxes do not allow for transparent/gradient options :frowning: ). I do appreciate your response though. Are you saying that I should add a container box and place the image(which would be the exact same size as the container box since it was created to replace the container box) over the newly formed container box?

Hay sea2star,

What is the site in question?
Can you share screenshot of the editor with the elements in question? It is a bit hard to help with visual design using only text…

The selected image(7) is the one I created in place of the container box(since I cannot do a gradient in a container box). The circular mandala is a button and so is “book a session”. I cannot place the buttons over the image for some reason. I guess the work around would be to pull the background image into Photoshop and create the transparent image on top( in photoshop) then save it as a single image and stick it in as the background. But it just seems like a lot of work for something that should be really straightforward.

It’s mysite-2

PROBLEM SOLVED. Apparently the buttons were ATTACHED to the background image.
