If you are facing the issue of your navbar disappearing on smaller screens in Webflow, there are a few steps you can take to fix this problem:

  1. Check the visibility settings: Make sure that the navbar element is set to be visible on all screen sizes. To do this, select the navbar element, go to the settings panel on the right-hand side, and click on the eye icon to ensure that it is set to display on all breakpoints.

  2. Test different breakpoints: The navbar may be disappearing because it is not properly set up for smaller screens. Use the Webflow designer's responsive preview mode to test your design on different screen sizes. Switch to different breakpoints (desktop, tablet, mobile) and see if the navbar is still visible. Adjust the settings and styling as needed to ensure it remains visible on all screen sizes.

  3. Check the navbar positioning: Sometimes, the navbar might be positioned outside the visible area on smaller screens. Double-check the positioning settings to make sure that it is properly aligned and within the visible viewport. Adjust the position and margins as necessary to ensure the navbar stays visible.

  4. Review hiding interactions: If you have any interactions applied to the navbar or any other elements on your webpage, it's possible that these interactions are causing the navbar to disappear on smaller screens. Open the Interactions panel and check if any triggers or conditions are causing the navbar to become hidden. Adjust or remove these interactions if they are interfering with the navbar visibility.

  5. Consider the background color and contrast: Sometimes, the navbar might be there but appear invisible due to similar colors with the background or lack of contrast. Make sure the navbar background color and text color have enough contrast to remain visible on smaller screens. Adjust the colors to ensure good visibility.

Remember to periodically save and publish your changes to see if the issue is resolved. By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of your navbar disappearing on smaller screens in Webflow.
