To fix the issue of having to double click a Nav button on the homepage in order to link it to a section, you can follow these steps:

Check the link settings: Make sure that the links assigned to the Nav buttons are correctly set up to point to the desired sections on the homepage. Verify that the link is using the correct anchor (#) followed by the section's ID.
Inspect the interactions: If the Nav buttons have any interactions applied to them, such as scroll animations or transitions, these interactions might be interfering with the link functionality. Review the interactions and check if they are causing any conflicts.
Check for custom code conflicts: If you have added any custom code to your site, it's possible that it is conflicting with the default behavior of the Nav buttons. Remove any custom code related to the Nav buttons and test if the issue persists.
Test with different devices and browsers: In some cases, the issue might be specific to certain devices or browsers. Test the navigation buttons on different devices and browsers to identify if there are any compatibility issues.
Check for overlapping elements: If there are other elements on the page that overlap with the Nav buttons, they might be intercepting the clicks. Make sure there are no overlapping elements, or adjust their positioning to avoid any interference.
Rebuild the navigation: If the issue still persists, it might be helpful to rebuild the navigation from scratch. Create new Nav buttons and set up the links and interactions carefully, ensuring that there are no conflicts.
