Navbar toggler not expanding (Bootstrap 5)

Question

I know I have seen several questions regarding this situation, but ive tried implementing the solutions offered in previous threads and they havent worked for me.

I was testing out something with Bootstrap 5 (new to it). I was checking out the collapsable nav bar button, where, once it reaches a certain view port size, the navbar would collapse into a hamburger menu and the user can click on it and it would expand. I saw it worked here , but when I copy and paste the same code into visual studio code, I cant get navbar to expand when you click on it.

This is the sample text i tried to test in my browser and it wont let me toggle.

How it looks on my site when clicking on the collapsable button:

The docs that you are referring are for the Bootstrap 4, NOT for the Bootstrap 5.

If you want to do the same thing in Bootstrap 5, you have to check these docs .

All you need to do to make your example work is the following:

1. Change data-toggle attribute to data-bs-toggle
2. Change data-target attribute to data-bs-target
