If you are experiencing issues with dropdown menus not displaying correctly when sharing the link to the team in Webflow, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

  1. Check your interaction settings: Make sure that the "Open menu on hover" option is selected for your dropdown menu. This can be found in the interaction settings panel for the dropdown menu component. With this option enabled, the dropdown menu will display when the user hovers over the parent element.

  2. Verify your z-index settings: Dropdown menus may not display properly if the z-index of the dropdown or its parent element is lower than other elements on the page. To fix this, ensure that the z-index of the dropdown menu and its parent element is set to a higher value than any overlapping elements on the page.

  3. Check for conflicting styles or scripts: If you have custom CSS or JavaScript code on your page, it's possible that it is conflicting with the Webflow dropdown menu functionality. Try disabling any custom code sections or removing any conflicting styles to see if that resolves the issue.

  4. Publish and republish your site: If none of the above steps solve the problem, try republishing your site in Webflow. Sometimes, the issue may be related to caching or other factors that can be resolved by republishing the site.

  5. Test in different browsers and devices: Make sure to test your site and the dropdown menus in different browsers and on different devices. Sometimes, certain browser or device-specific issues can cause problems with menu display. By testing on different platforms, you can determine if the issue is specific to a particular browser or device.

Remember to save your changes and preview the site before re-sharing the link with your team. By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with dropdown menus not showing properly when sharing the link to the team in Webflow.
