There are a few potential reasons why the desktop menu interactions may be disappearing when placing the Nav bar component on another page in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect class structure: Check if the classes and structures of the Nav bar component on the new page match the original page. If the classes or structure are different, it can cause the interactions to not work properly. Make sure the class names and nested elements are consistent across pages.

  2. Missing JavaScript or custom code: Sometimes, certain interactions in Webflow require custom code or external JavaScript libraries to function properly. If these dependencies are missing from the new page, it can cause the interactions to break. Make sure to include any required JavaScript or custom code snippets on the new page.

  3. Conflicting interactions: If there are other interactions or components on the new page that have conflicting settings with the Nav bar component, it can cause the menu interactions to disappear. Check for any conflicting interactions or elements that may be interfering with the Nav bar component. You may need to tweak the interaction settings or rearrange elements to resolve the conflict.

  4. Conditional visibility settings: Webflow allows you to set conditional visibility for elements based on certain criteria. It is possible that the menu interactions are disappearing because of conditional visibility settings on the new page. Double-check if there are any visibility settings that may be hiding the menu interactions.

  5. CSS conflicts: If the new page has different CSS styles than the original page, it can lead to conflicts and cause the menu interactions to not function properly. Inspect the CSS styles on the new page and check if there are any conflicting styles that may be affecting the menu interactions. You may need to adjust or override the styles to ensure the interactions work as intended.

  6. Browser caching: Sometimes, browser caching can cause issues with interactions not being updated properly. Ensure that you have cleared your browser cache or try viewing the new page in an incognito/private browsing window to rule out any caching-related issues.

By checking these possible causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the desktop menu interactions to disappear when placing the Nav bar component on another page in Webflow.
