Why is the brand on my navbar image not showing when I preview or publish my Webflow site, but it shows in designer mode?

When the brand on your navbar image is not showing in the preview or published version of your Webflow site, it can be due to a few reasons. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect file path: If the image is not showing up, it may be because the file path of the image is incorrect. Double-check that you have entered the correct file path in the image settings. Make sure you have also uploaded the image to your Webflow project's assets.

  2. Image file not uploaded: Ensure that you have uploaded the image file to your Webflow project's assets. If the image is missing or not uploaded, it will not appear in the preview or published version of your site.

  3. Image file name or format issue: Verify that the image file name and format are correct. Webflow supports common image formats like JPG, PNG, and GIF. If the file name or format is incorrect, the image will not display.

  4. Image not published: If you have recently made changes to the image in the Webflow Designer, make sure to publish your site again to apply those changes. Sometimes, the image may appear in the Designer but not in the published site if it hasn't been published successfully.

  5. CSS override or visibility settings: Check if any CSS code in your custom code or in-page styles is overriding the visibility or display settings of the navbar image. Inspect the element in your browser's developer tools to identify any potential issues with the image visibility.

  6. Navbar background or color settings: Ensure that the background color or transparency settings for your navbar are not causing the image to blend in or disappear. Adjust the navbar's background color or set the transparency value to make sure the image is visible.

Remember to save and publish your changes after making any updates to your Webflow project. By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of the brand on your navbar image not showing in the preview or published version of your Webflow site.
