If the background color is not returning to pink after hovering over a link on a cloned and customized nav bar in Webflow, there could be a few possible causes:

  1. CSS specificity: Check if there are any other CSS rules that may be affecting the background color. Sometimes, conflicting rules with higher specificity can override the desired hover effect. Make sure that the hover styles for the link background color are correctly applied and not being overridden by other styles.

  2. Custom code conflicts: If you have added any custom code to your Webflow project, it is possible that there is a conflict with the hover effect. Review your custom code to see if there are any rules that might be impacting the hover behavior.

  3. Interactions or animations: If you have added interactions or animations to the nav bar, they might be affecting the hover effect. Check if there are any interactions or animations that are conflicting with the hover state and adjust them accordingly.

  4. Conditional visibility settings: Consider if there are any conditional visibility settings applied to the nav bar elements. If the conditions are not met for the element to be visible, the hover effect may not be triggered.

To troubleshoot and address the issue, follow these steps:

  • Double-check the CSS rules for the hover effect and ensure that they are applied correctly.
  • Inspect the element using the browser's developer tools to see if there are any conflicting styles affecting the hover effect.
  • Temporarily disable any custom code or interactions to see if they are causing the issue.
  • Review the conditional visibility settings for the nav bar elements to make sure they are configured properly.

By systematically investigating these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the background color not returning to pink after hovering over a link on a cloned and customized nav bar in Webflow.
