Dropdown not working when we update the livewire component.

I am using Admin panel for my livewire project. I have used css and javascript files in the layout file. I have used wire:navigate to navigate between pages. It works fine unless I change the profile pic and update it in the other components like sidebar and header. It udpates the image but it make the dropdown stop working.

SIDEBAR COMPONENT

and when I update the inquiry status from the another component count does not change rather dropdown stops working.

Why is this happening ? I am using template js and css.

This sounds like a DOM diffing issue caused by livewire making a server roundtrip whenever an image is updated which would rerender your component, causing certain functionalities to break. I think you can fix this by using the wire:ignore directive (see livewire docs).

<div wire:ignore>
    <ul class="slide-menu child1">...</ul>
</div>

About the inquiry count not changing, i'm not sure what to make of this since you didn't provide the code for the component. But to ensure that livewire can keep track of the changes of $allInquiriesCount, it should be a public property like so:

public $allInquiriesCount = 0
