Help with navbar component interactions not persisting across pages

At a glance

The community member is having an issue with their navbar component's interactions not persisting across pages. The interactions work on the homepage, but not on other pages where the same navbar component is used. The community members discuss potential solutions, including sharing a read-only link to the site and troubleshooting the issue. The solution was to wrap the navbar in a div wrapper, which resolved the issue with the element interaction, which the community member believes is a bug in Webflow.

Would anyone be willing to hop on a call with me for a few minutes to help me fix an issue with my interactions not persisting across pages for my navbar component?

I have 3 dropdown menus with an icon that goes upside down when you hover over it and the dropdown menu shows up. It works fine on the homepage, but all my other pages where this navbar component is, it doesn't have the interaction attatched to it, and when I go to add it, it doesn't work

we could probably resolve this async unless its that time sensitive - I wouldn't be able to jump on a call though. If you want to send over your read-only link, I can record a quick loom that walks you through how to resolve.

Hi , thank you for helping

Here's the site https://www.waterloodata.com/

If you take a look at the nav, on the home page its fine but i'm using that same nav component on other pages, the interaction just isn't attatched so you can see the down arrows don't turn upside down

thanks for the link - however the read-only link is found under the "share" button top right - it allows me to see the structure of your site as well as style settings. Happy to help!

Oh I don't think I'm able to do that since the site is in another persons workspace

Sorry for the confusion!

do you have access to the site via designer? It won't notify anyone that somebody is looking at it - its just a way to share a read-only preview of the site and its structure. Its different than inviting somebody to their workspace or project to be a designer - I wouldn't want that for sure!

You can also DM it to me if that helps

Yea I have access to the designer but that share button isn't there that usually is

oh interesting! I didn't realize that was even a thing.

I will create a quick loom here shortly to show you all of the usual places to look for why an interaction wouldn't work and we can try to troubleshoot blindly then.

Okay awesome thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to make that video! The issue was I needed to wrap the navbar in a div wrapper. Not having it wrapped was causing issues on other pages with the element interaction which I think is just a bug in Webflow

got it! Yep sounds about right.
