The issue with the mobile menu in Webflow where clicking outside of the X icon does not change the icon to a burger icon is typically due to a missing interaction. This problem often occurs when the menu animation interaction is not properly set up.

To fix this issue, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Webflow project and go to the Designer.
  2. Navigate to the element that contains the mobile menu.
  3. Select the X icon element within the mobile menu.
  4. In the right sidebar, click on the "Interactions" tab.
  5. Look for the interaction that controls the menu animation when clicking on the X icon.
  6. Ensure that the interaction has a trigger set for when clicking outside the X icon.
  7. If the trigger is missing or set incorrectly, add or correct it by clicking on the "+" button next to the "Trigger" section.
  8. Choose the appropriate trigger, such as a click outside of an element or a click on the body.
  9. Test the menu by clicking outside of the X icon to see if the icon changes to a burger icon.

If the issue persists after following these steps, there might be a conflict with other interactions or custom code on your website. In such cases, it's advisable to review your interactions and troubleshoot any conflicting elements or code that could be affecting the mobile menu behavior.

Remember to publish your changes and test on different mobile devices to ensure that the mobile menu behaves as expected.
