To fix the issue with the dropdown menu in the navbar not staying when hovered in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the Navbar element: Start by selecting the Navbar element that contains the dropdown menu.

  2. Open the Navigator: In the right sidebar, click on the Navigator tab to open the Navigator panel.

  3. Locate the Dropdown Menu: Within the Navigator, locate the Dropdown Menu element nested underneath the Navbar element.

  4. Check the Interaction settings: With the Dropdown Menu selected, go to the Interactions panel (located in the right sidebar).

  5. Edit the Hover In interaction: In the Interactions panel, you will find the Hover In interaction associated with the Dropdown Menu element. Click on it to edit the settings.

  6. Change the Trigger: By default, the Hover In trigger is set to affect different elements on hover. To ensure that the dropdown menu stays visible when hovered over, change the trigger to affect only the Dropdown Menu element itself. You can do this by clicking on the dropdown menu next to the "Affects" field and selecting "This element".

  7. Apply the changes: Click outside the Interactions panel to apply the changes to the Hover In interaction.

  8. Preview and test: Now you can preview your website and test the dropdown menu. It should stay visible when hovered over.

  9. Adjust further if necessary: If the dropdown menu is not staying visible or is behaving unexpectedly, you may need to review the positioning and z-index settings to ensure that it's properly displayed on top of other elements.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with the dropdown menu in the navbar not staying when hovered in Webflow.
