If you are experiencing disappearing images in Webflow's published mode after selecting a page from the dropdown menu in the navigation bar, here are a few possible reasons and solutions:

  1. Check your image paths: The first thing to examine is whether the image paths are correctly set. Make sure the image paths in your Webflow project match the actual file locations. You can do this by going to the Assets panel and double-checking the image URLs.

  2. Verify image visibility settings: Sometimes, the visibility settings in Webflow can affect the display of images. Ensure that the visibility settings for the images are correctly configured. This can be done by selecting the image element in the Designer, going to the Styles panel, and checking the visibility settings.

  3. Cache issues: If you have recently made changes to your images in Webflow, it's possible that your browser's cache is still holding on to the old versions. Try clearing your browser cache and reloading the page to see if the images reappear.

  4. CDN caching: Webflow uses a content delivery network (CDN) to serve assets. Occasionally, there might be delays in CDN caching, which can result in missing images. In such cases, waiting for a little while and refreshing the page might solve the issue.

  5. Check for conflicting interactions: If you have interactions applied to your dropdown menu or to the images themselves, conflicts between different interactions might cause the images to disappear. Review the interactions panel to ensure that there are no conflicting interactions affecting the visibility of the images.

  6. Cross-browser compatibility: Verify if the issue persists across different browsers. Sometimes, certain browser-specific issues can affect the display of images. If the problem is limited to a specific browser, consider checking for any browser-specific CSS properties or code that might be causing the issue.

Remember to publish your changes after implementing any fixes to ensure they take effect on the live website.
