To disable the user from triggering dropdown menus when hovering over the nav bar or clicking on links in the nav on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the nav bar element: Go to the Webflow Designer and find the nav bar element that you want to modify.

  2. Open the settings panel: With the nav bar selected, open the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Designer.

  3. Disable the dropdown menu trigger: In the settings panel, scroll down to the "Navbar" section. Here, you'll find an option called "Open menu on hover." By default, this option is enabled, which means that the dropdown menu will open when the user hovers over the nav bar or clicks on links. Disable this option to prevent the dropdown menu from opening when hovered or clicked.

  4. Adjust the link settings (optional): If you want to disable the dropdown menu only when clicking on links in the nav, you can adjust the link settings separately. Select the link element inside the nav bar and open the Settings panel. Under the "Link Settings" section, you'll find an option called "Open menu on click." By default, this option is enabled. Disable it to prevent the dropdown menu from opening when the link is clicked.

  5. Publish your changes: After making the necessary adjustments, preview your website to ensure that the dropdown menus are no longer triggered when hovering over the nav bar or clicking on links. If everything looks good, publish your changes to make them live on your website.

By following these steps, you can easily disable the user from triggering dropdown menus when hovering over the nav bar or clicking on links in the nav on Webflow.
