Motion theme - sticky filter is hiding the header menu troubleshoot

Topic summary

A user implemented custom code to make the filter section sticky on the Motion theme’s collection pages, but this caused the header menu dropdown items to be hidden behind the sticky filter when hovering.

Issue Details:

  • The sticky filter’s z-index was overlapping the header menu
  • Problem visible on collection pages when hovering over menu items
  • Screenshot provided showing menu items being obscured

Solution Provided:
Add CSS code to site-nav.css file:

.site-nav--has-dropdown {
    z-index: 99999 !important;
}

This increases the z-index of the dropdown menu to ensure it appears above the sticky filter. The solution was confirmed working with a result screenshot showing the menu properly displaying over the filter section.

I’m using Motion theme’s latest version in that I made the filter section sticky using custom code and that worked but the issue is when we hover on the header menu, it hides the menu items. I’ll attach the reference image. Help me to rectify the issue.
