There are several reasons why navigation links may not be working on a CMS Collection page in Webflow. Here are some potential causes and solutions you can try:

Incorrect linking: Check if the navigation links are pointing to the correct pages or sections within your CMS Collection. Ensure that you have correctly set up the links to correspond with the correct CMS items. Double-check the URLs and make sure they are accurate.
Link block elements: Ensure that the navigation links are placed inside Link Block elements. Link Blocks are necessary for turning any element into a clickable link in Webflow.
Dynamic list settings: If you have used a dynamic list to display your CMS Collection items, make sure that the links are properly connected to the dynamic list. Verify that the "Link Settings" for your dynamic list are correctly configured, ensuring that the link field is mapped to the correct field in your CMS collection.
Visibility settings: Check the visibility settings of the navigation links. Make sure they are set to be visible on the CMS Collection page. If they are hidden or have conflicting visibility settings, they may not appear or function as expected.
Interactions or custom code: Check if any interactions or custom code on the CMS Collection page are interfering with the navigation links. Temporarily disable any custom code or interactions to see if the links start working. If they do, identify and fix the conflicting code or interaction.
Re-publish the site: Sometimes, the navigation links may not be updated on the live site due to caching or publishing issues. Try re-publishing your site to ensure all changes, including the navigation links, are applied correctly.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve issues with navigation links not working on CMS Collection pages in Webflow.
