How can I fix the issue with the Webflow menu button requiring two clicks to open after scrolling back up on a page with linked sections? Please refer to the provided video for reference. Thank you.

TL;DR
  • Disable Webflow Smooth Scroll: Add a script in Footer Code to handle smooth scrolling manually.
  • Ensure Navbar Closes on Click: Use Webflow’s settings or custom interactions to close the menu when a link is clicked.
  • Reset Menu on Scroll: Add a script to detect scrolling and close the menu if it's open.
  • Test Navigation: Publish and verify the fix works properly.

If your Webflow menu button requires two clicks to open after scrolling back up on a page with linked sections, this is usually caused by Webflow’s built-in interactions conflicting with browser behavior for in-page anchors. Here’s how you can fix it:

1. Disable Webflow’s Default Smooth Scroll Behavior

  • Go to Page Settings of the page where the issue occurs.
  • Scroll down to the Custom Code section.
  • In the Footer Code, add the following script to disable Webflow's default smooth scroll:
    ```html```
  • Save and publish your site to test if the issue is resolved.
  • If you're using Webflow’s built-in navbar, clicking a menu link may not properly reset the open/close state.
  • Steps to fix:
  • Add a custom interaction to hide the menu when clicking a link inside it.
  • If using a Navbar component, set it to Close Menu on Link Click under Navbar Settings.

3. Reset the Menu Button on Scroll Events

  • If the issue persists, Webflow’s scroll interactions may be affecting the menu button's state.
  • Add this script in the Footer Code to force a proper reset:
    ```html```
  • This ensures that the menu button resets when scrolling back up.

Summary

To fix the menu button requiring two clicks, try these steps: Disable Webflow’s smooth scroll, ensure the navbar properly closes on link click, and reset the menu on scroll using custom scripts. After implementing these, test your site's navigation to confirm the fix.
