There could be several reasons why your navbar is working on the homepage but not on other pages in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions to consider:

Inconsistent class names: Make sure that the class name of your navbar element is consistent across all pages. If the class name is different on the other pages, the styles applied to the navbar may not be loaded properly. To fix this, ensure that the class name is the same on all pages.
Incorrect linking: Check if the navigation links in your navbar are correctly linked to the pages they are supposed to navigate to. If the links are pointing to the wrong pages or if there are any missing links, it can cause the navbar to not work as expected. Double-check your links and make sure they are correct and properly linked.
Conditional visibility settings: Webflow provides the ability to conditionally show or hide elements on different pages based on certain conditions. Check if you have any visibility settings applied to your navbar that might be causing it to be hidden on certain pages. Review the element settings and ensure that the visibility settings are not conflicting with the other pages.
Z-index conflicts: Sometimes, z-index conflicts can occur when elements on a page overlap with each other. This can result in the navbar being hidden behind another element on the page. Try adjusting the z-index of the navbar to make it appear above other elements if necessary.
JavaScript errors: If you have custom JavaScript code implemented on your site, make sure there are no errors in the code that could be affecting the functionality of the navbar. Use the browser console to check for any errors and fix them accordingly.
Template inconsistencies: If you are using a template or a global symbol for your navbar, there might be inconsistencies between the template and other pages. Check if there are any overrides or modifications made to the navbar on the other pages that could be causing the issue. Ensure that the template or symbol is used consistently throughout your website.

By considering these possible causes and solutions, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix any issues with your navbar on other pages in Webflow.
