What could be causing the active nav link color to overwrite and become blue only on the mobile version of a Webflow site built from the Terminal template?

There are a few potential reasons why the active nav link color is being overwritten and appearing as blue only on the mobile version of a Webflow site built from the Terminal template. Here are some possible causes and solutions to resolve the issue:

  1. Specific CSS targeting: Check if there is any custom CSS code that specifically targets the active nav link color on mobile devices. It's possible that there is CSS code overriding the default color. You can search for CSS selectors that target the active nav link on mobile and adjust the styling accordingly.

  2. CSS media queries: The Terminal template or any custom code might include media queries that target mobile devices and set a different color for the active nav link. Inspect the CSS file or the Webflow Designer to find and modify these media queries to achieve the desired color for the active link.

  3. Priority of CSS rules: In some cases, CSS rules with higher specificity may override the desired styling. To ensure that the active nav link color is consistent across all devices, make sure the CSS rules that control the link styling have appropriate specificity. Using more specific selectors or adding !important to the CSS rule can help ensure that it is not overwritten.

  4. JavaScript interactions: If the mobile-specific styling includes any JavaScript interactions, they might be causing the active nav link color to change. Review any JavaScript code that manipulates the link color or its parent elements and make necessary modifications to ensure consistent styling.

  5. Webflow template styles: The Terminal template may have predefined styles for the active nav link color on mobile. Check the Template Styles in the Webflow Designer to see if there are any specific styles applied to the active link on mobile devices. Modify the styles as needed to achieve the desired color.

Remember to preview your changes and test them on different mobile devices or through responsive design tools to ensure that the active nav link color appears as intended across all screens.
