Beskrivelse

Issue Description

The Notifications bell icon may not appear in an Experience Cloud site when the Hide notifications icon in header option is enabled in the site's theme settings. This can happen when a site is first set up, or after a theme configuration change.


The notifications icon bell is not showing on the site as expected in the Enable Notifications in Experience Builder Sites documentation.
