How can I fix the issue of my PDF file being published with a different name than the one I uploaded in Webflow?
If you are experiencing the issue of your PDF file being published with a different name than the one you uploaded in Webflow, there are a few potential solutions you can try:
Rename the file before uploading: Before uploading the PDF file to Webflow, make sure it has the desired name. This way, when it gets published, it will retain the correct name.
Check your file naming conventions: Ensure that you are following proper file naming conventions. Avoid using special characters, spaces, or uppercase letters in the file name. Stick to lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens or underscores if necessary. This will help prevent any issues with file names being modified during upload or publication.
Clear cache and republish the site: Sometimes, the issue could be related to caching. Clearing your browser cache and then republishing the website can help resolve the problem. This will ensure that any previously cached versions of the website are updated with the corrected file name.
Use a URL redirect: If the issue persists even after trying the above steps, you can consider using a URL redirect. This involves creating a redirect in your Webflow project so that when users access the incorrect file name, they are automatically redirected to the correct one. This can be done using Webflow's built-in URL redirect feature or through custom code.
By applying these solutions, you should be able to fix the issue of your PDF file being published with a different name than the one you uploaded in Webflow. Remember to thoroughly test the changes to ensure everything is working as expected.
