To fix the issue of the navbar not showing up when placed at the bottom of mobile views in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check the visibility settings: Ensure that the visibility of the navbar element is not set to "hidden" or "display: none" in the Style tab. Also, double-check if any interactions or animations are affecting the visibility of the navbar.

  2. Adjust the positioning: Make sure that the positioning of the navbar is set to "Fixed" or "Absolute" rather than "Static" or "Relative". Fixed or Absolute positioning will allow the navbar to stay in place even when scrolling.

  3. Z-index values: Check the z-index values of surrounding elements to ensure that they are not overlapping or covering the navbar. If necessary, increase the z-index value of the navbar, so it appears above other elements.

  4. Sticky positioning: Consider adding "position: sticky" to the navbar element. This will make the navbar stick to the bottom of the mobile view until the user scrolls past it.

  5. Responsive breakpoints: Verify that the navbar is correctly set up for mobile views. In Webflow, you can set different styles for different breakpoints. Make sure that the navbar is visible and properly positioned at the bottom in the specific mobile breakpoint where the issue occurs.

  6. Compatibility with mobile devices: Test the website on different mobile devices and browsers to ensure that the issue is not specific to a certain device or browser. Sometimes, browser-specific CSS or JavaScript conflicts can cause elements to behave differently.

Following these steps should help you fix the issue of the navbar not showing up at the bottom of mobile views in Webflow. Always remember to save and publish your changes to see the updates on the live site.
