My navbar totally disappears and I am only left with the text in the navbar-brand class. I don’t even get the toggle button.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-brand {
  color: rgba(171, 106, 106, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default {
  font-size: 14px;
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
  border-width: 0px;
  border-radius: 4px;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a {
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a:focus {
  color: rgba(27, 219, 81, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a:focus {
  color: rgba(14, 145, 40, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle {
  border-color: #ffffff;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:focus {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle .icon-bar {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:hover .icon-bar,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:focus .icon-bar {

It is probably some minor detail but I am missing it regardless of the tutorials.

Thank you in advance.

The menu is not disappearing, you are setting it’s color to white in your custom css (last few kines of your code). I changed it to red here.

#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-brand {
  color: rgba(171, 106, 106, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default {
  font-size: 14px;
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
  border-width: 0px;
  border-radius: 4px;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a {
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a:focus {
  color: rgba(27, 219, 81, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a:focus {
  color: rgba(14, 145, 40, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle {
  border-color: #ffffff;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:focus {
  background-color: red;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle .icon-bar {
  background-color: red;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:hover .icon-bar,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:focus .icon-bar {
  background-color: white;
}

That is happening because you set the color to #ffffff so it’s not disappearing just because of same background color not visualizing. Just changed to #000000 and it looks fine.

#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-brand {
  color: rgba(171, 106, 106, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default {
  font-size: 14px;
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
  border-width: 0px;
  border-radius: 4px;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a {
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a:focus {
  color: rgba(27, 219, 81, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.active>a:focus {
  color: rgba(14, 145, 40, 1);
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle {
  border-color: #000000;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:hover,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:focus {
