Bootstrap navbar toggle button disappears on smaller screen sizes

Question

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);

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

Thank you in advance.

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 {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle .icon-bar {
  background-color: #000000;
}
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:hover .icon-bar,
#custom-bootstrap-menu.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:focus .icon-bar {

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;
}
