Using Ruby on Rails and Boostrap 5.3 to create a site to host my projects and info. I have a header file containing all of my navbar code. After visiting any link from one of the dropdown options, the dropdown button no longer works.

However, when I click on one of the links inside of the navbar, but not found in the dropdown and change pages, everything still works fine (i.e. if I click on “About Me” and go to that page it works but not if I open the dropdown and go to “Yelp Review Manager” or any of the other pages listed as options). Reloading the page also makes the dropdown work again.

Code:

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <a class="navbar-brand">Title</a>
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarNavDropdown" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
      <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>

    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNavDropdown">
      <ul class="navbar-nav">
        <li class="nav-item">
            <%= link_to "Home", root_path, class:"nav-link"%>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
            <%= link_to "About Me", home_about_path, class:"nav-link" %>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item dropdown">
          <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" role="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
            Projects
          </a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <%= link_to "Living Atlas", projects_livingatlas_path, class:"dropdown-item" %>
            <%= link_to "Spreadsheet", projects_spreadsheet_path, class:"dropdown-item" %>
            <%= link_to "Yelp Review Manager", projects_yelp_path, class:"dropdown-item" %>
            <%= link_to "Ext2 File System", projects_ext2_path, class:"dropdown-item" %>
            <%= link_to "Personal Website", projects_website_path, class:"dropdown-item" %>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</nav>
