To fix the issue where dropdown items in the nav bar only work on the homepage and not on the project page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Check the settings of the dropdown component:

Open the dropdown component in the Webflow Designer by double-clicking on it or selecting it and clicking on the "Settings" icon in the toolbar.
Make sure that the dropdown trigger and dropdown menu elements are correctly set up and linked.
Ensure that the interactions and animations associated with the dropdown are configured correctly.

Check the navigation structure:

Verify that the navigation structure is consistent across the homepage and project page.
Double-check that the parent and child menu items are structured the same way on both the homepage and the project page.
Make sure that the parent menu item has a hover or click interaction assigned to reveal the dropdown menu.

Verify the class assignments:

Ensure that the class assigned to the dropdown component is the same on both the homepage and the project page.
Verify that all class styles associated with the dropdown are correctly applied.

Check for conflicting CSS or JavaScript:

Inspect the HTML and CSS of the project page, specifically focusing on the nav bar and dropdown elements.
Look for any conflicting styles or scripts that may be preventing the dropdown functionality from working as expected.
Temporarily disable or remove any custom code or third-party integrations to see if they are causing the issue.

Republish and test:

After making any changes, save and publish your site.
Test the dropdown functionality on both the homepage and the project page to ensure that it works correctly.

If you still experience issues after following these steps, you may want to reach out to the Webflow support team or post on the Webflow forum for further assistance.
