What could be the reason for the Menu Button Landing 3 not showing in Webflow's element settings and how can I fix it?

TL;DR
  • Check the Navigator and Symbols panel to confirm "Menu Button Landing 3" exists and is added to the page.
  • Ensure it's not hidden via display settings, responsive breakpoints, or affected by custom code.
  • If it's a Symbol, verify you're editing the master version and that it hasn't been deleted.

If Menu Button Landing 3 is not showing in Webflow’s element settings, the issue is likely related to how the symbol or component is created or placed in the project.

1. Check If the Element Exists on the Current Page

  • Navigate to the Page where the component should be.
  • Use the Navigator panel to locate the “Menu Button Landing 3.” If it doesn’t show up there, it’s not present on the current page.
  • If it’s a Symbol, ensure it has been added to the canvas from the Symbols panel.

2. Confirm It's Not Hidden

  • Select the component (if visible in Navigator) and check the Display Setting in the Style panel.
  • If the display is set to None, toggle it back to Block, Flex, or Inline depending on the layout you want.

3. Ensure It Was Not Deleted

  • Go to the Symbols panel in the left sidebar.
  • If Menu Button Landing 3 is not listed, it may have been deleted. You may need to recreate or reimport it from a backup or another project version.

4. Check Page-Specific Visibility

  • Open Element Settings (gear icon) and see if it's set to Hidden on certain breakpoints.
  • If yes, toggle visibility back on using the responsive visibility icons (e.g., desktop, tablet, mobile).

5. Inspect Custom Code Interference

  • Open your Project Settings or the Page Settings and look for custom code in the header or footer.
  • Malformed JavaScript can unintentionally hide or remove elements.

6. Symbols vs Instances Confusion

  • If “Menu Button Landing 3” was saved as a Symbol, you might be trying to edit the instance rather than the base Symbol.
  • Go to the Symbols panel, find the Symbol, and click Edit Master to view or modify the base component.

Summary

The "Menu Button Landing 3" might not appear due to it being missing from the page, hidden via display settings or breakpoints, or not created as a Symbol yet. Check the Navigator, Symbols panel, element visibility, and custom code to troubleshoot and restore it.
