Why are the Nav Links showing up in Design mode but not in Preview mode on Webflow?
There could be several reasons why the Nav Links are showing up in Design mode but not in Preview mode on Webflow. Here are a few possible explanations and solutions:
Visibility settings: Check if the Nav Links are set to an invisible state or if their display setting is set to "none." In Webflow, it's possible to configure different visibility settings for Design and Preview modes. Make sure the Nav Links are set to be visible in both modes by selecting the desired option in the Element Settings panel.
Interaction conflicts: If you have interactions applied to the Nav Links, there might be conflicts that make them disappear in Preview mode. Double-check your interactions to see if there are any conflicting settings or if they are accidentally triggering the hiding of the Nav Links. Adjust the interaction settings accordingly to ensure the links remain visible.
Layout issues: If the Nav Links are placed within a container or div block and that container has its size or positioning properties set incorrectly, it can cause the links to appear hidden in Preview mode. Double-check the properties of the containers or div blocks holding the Nav Links and adjust them as needed.
Conditional visibility settings: Webflow also offers the option to set conditional visibility for elements based on specific conditions like device width or viewport height. Ensure that the Nav Links don't have any conditional visibility settings applied that might be causing them to disappear in Preview mode.
CSS conflicts: If you have custom CSS applied to the Nav Links or their parent elements, it's possible that the styles are conflicting and causing the links to be hidden in Preview mode. Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the elements and check for any CSS conflicts. Adjust the conflicting styles to ensure the Nav Links are visible.
Preview mode limitations: Sometimes, certain elements or settings may not be accurately represented in Preview mode due to its limitations. If you've verified that the above potential issues don't apply, try publishing the website to see if the Nav Links appear correctly on the live site.
Remember, it's essential to save and publish the changes made in Design mode for them to appear in Preview mode. If none of the above solutions work, it might be helpful to reach out to the Webflow support team for further assistance.
