Why does the mobile menu on the staging site open up when clicked on, but on the production site it does not open up?
There could be several reasons why the mobile menu is not opening up on the production site while it works on the staging site. Here are a few possible causes and solutions to consider:
JavaScript Error: Check if there are any JavaScript errors occurring on the production site. Open the browser console (usually accessed by right-clicking on the page and choosing "Inspect" or "Inspect Element," then navigating to the "Console" tab). Look for any error messages related to JavaScript. If found, fix the errors mentioned in the console, as they might be preventing the menu from opening.
Menu Interaction Settings: Ensure that all necessary interactions are properly set up for the mobile menu on the production site. Compare the interaction settings on the staging site to the production site. Double-check that the correct triggers, animations, and targets are applied to the menu element.
Visibility Settings: Verify that the mobile menu is set to be initially hidden and triggered to appear when the appropriate action is performed (e.g., clicking the menu icon). Ensure that the correct class name or ID is associated with the menu element and that it matches the one referenced in the interactions or custom code.
CSS Issues: Review the CSS code for any issues that may be affecting the mobile menu on the production site. Check if there are any conflicting styles or missing CSS properties that are preventing the menu from opening. Make sure the CSS selectors used for targeting the menu are correct.
Content Overlapping: If the mobile menu is not opening up due to overlapping content, check if there are any elements positioned incorrectly or with incorrect z-index values. Elements with higher z-index values may be covering the menu or preventing it from being interacted with.
Droplet Deployment: If you are using a static site generator like Jekyll to deploy the production site, ensure that the necessary dependencies and configurations are properly set up. It's possible that the mobile menu functionality was inadvertently affected during the deployment process.
By troubleshooting the above areas, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing the mobile menu from opening on the production site.
