Troubleshooting Navbar Link Current State Issues

·Jul 07, 2025 04:04 PM·

Hey all! I don't know why but it's always a common issue for me but I can never get to the "current" state for the navbar links. Every time I attached the page, it does change, but I can't access the current state to be able to edit what that looks like. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Danilen V. ah okay got it, yeah this can sometimes be tricky. Especially if your navbar is a component. One trick you could try is to duplicate your navbar component, and unlink instance. Then assign a nav link to the homepage, deselect this nav link, then try selecting it again - you should see the green "current" combo assigned to it, and you're in the right state to then modify styles for the current nav item. If a loom would be helpful here, let me know, happy to record one for you.
