If you're experiencing an issue where the mobile menu is hiding the desktop menu on your Webflow site, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the problem. Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Check your mobile menu settings: Start by reviewing the settings of your mobile menu in the Webflow Designer. Ensure that the mobile menu is set to display correctly and not overlapping with the desktop menu. Adjust the positioning and dimensions of the mobile menu if necessary.

  2. Review your menu structure: Make sure that the menu structure is set up correctly to avoid any conflicts between the mobile and desktop menus. Check that the menu items are properly nested within the appropriate sections, and that there are no duplicate menu elements causing the overlap.

  3. Check your breakpoints: Webflow uses breakpoints to determine how your site is displayed on different screen sizes. Double-check that the mobile menu is properly configured for the appropriate breakpoints and that it's not conflicting with the desktop menu at any size.

  4. Adjust the z-index: The z-index determines the stacking order of elements on a webpage. It's possible that the mobile menu has a higher z-index value than the desktop menu, causing it to visually overlap. In this case, you'll need to adjust the z-index of the menus. Increase the z-index of the desktop menu to ensure it appears above the mobile menu.

  5. Use interactions or custom code: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you can explore using interactions or custom code to hide or toggle the mobile or desktop menu at specific breakpoints. Webflow's interactions panel allows you to create custom interactions that can be triggered by different screen sizes. Alternatively, you can use custom code to control the visibility of either menu based on the screen size.

  6. Test on multiple devices: It's important to test your site on various devices and screen sizes to ensure that the menus are displaying correctly. Use Webflow's built-in responsive preview or conduct live tests on different devices to identify and fix any bugs or display issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with the mobile menu hiding the desktop menu on your Webflow site. Remember to save and publish your changes after making adjustments to see the changes reflected on your live site.
