It is not uncommon for discrepancies to occur between the Webflow Designer and the published site. This can often be due to caching or rendering issues. If you are experiencing a specific issue with the tag not showing in the Designer but appearing properly in the published site, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

  1. Clear your cache: Cached versions of your site can sometimes cause inconsistencies between the Designer and the published site. Clearing your cache can help resolve this issue.

  2. Refresh the Designer: Sometimes the Designer may not show the changes immediately. Try refreshing the Designer by pressing Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) to see if the tag appears.

  3. Check for visibility settings: Make sure the tag is not set to "display: none" or "visibility: hidden" in the styles panel. If these properties are applied, the tag will not be visible in the Designer.

  4. Inspect the published site: If the tag is appearing correctly in the published site, it indicates that the issue may be specific to the Designer. You can use your browser's developer tools to inspect the element and see if any styles or settings are causing the tag to be hidden in the Designer.

  5. Contact Webflow support: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, it's advisable to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They will be able to investigate the issue and provide you with a more personalized solution.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the tag not showing in the Webflow Designer.
