Thanks for reporting this issue. We'll look closer on it before the next release :)

Keep coding!

Any suggestions for possible fixes?


Collin Banks free answered 2 years ago


Anyone ever experience this issue? Wondering if there was some kind of workaround I could try here


Krzysztof Wilk staff commented 2 years ago

Hi!

I found a problem. You have to remove the expand='lg' property from the MDBNavbar component :)

Keep coding!


Collin Banks free commented 2 years ago

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to propose a solution here. I removed the property and now the navbar only shows the brand logo, and none of the actual nav items. When I shrink the width of the navbar, I can see a pointer cursor when I hover over the top right corner of the webpage but still no actual hamburger icon. I can only see the nav items when I click on the invisible button.. So, I feel as though the problem has only worsened with the proposed solution but I appreciate your suggestion -- hope this issue get's resolved quickly. Thanks again!

After some experimentation, I realized that if you add a custom MDBNavbarToggler image the issue goes away entirely but only if you re-add the expand='lg' property to the MDBNavbar component. Hopefully this helps, cheers!

Glad you've managed it! If you have more questions - feel free to ask :)

Keep coding!
