Yes, it is possible to get interactions to work on a Wordpress site created with Webflow. Here's how you can achieve it:

  1. Publish your Webflow site: Before integrating your Webflow site with Wordpress, make sure that you have successfully published it. This will generate the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files needed for the site to function correctly.

  2. Export the code: In Webflow, go to the Export section and export the code for your site. This will give you a ZIP file containing all the necessary files.

  3. Set up a Wordpress environment: Install Wordpress on your hosting provider or set up a local development environment using tools like XAMPP, MAMP, or Local by Flywheel.

  4. Install a theme: Choose a Wordpress theme that best matches the design of your Webflow site. This will serve as the foundation for integrating the Webflow code.

  5. Create a child theme: To make sure your customizations are not lost when the theme is updated, it's best to create a child theme. This will allow you to safely modify the theme files.

  6. Copy and modify the necessary files: Extract the contents of the exported Webflow ZIP file and copy the necessary files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) into your child theme's folder structure. Modify the header.php and footer.php files of your theme to link to the Webflow CSS and JavaScript files. Make sure to update the file paths accordingly.

  7. Integrate interactions: To get interactions working on your Wordpress site, you will need to manually code them or use a custom script provided by Webflow. Place the code in the appropriate section of your theme files, such as the footer.php file before the closing tag.

  8. Test and troubleshoot: Once you have integrated the Webflow code and interactions into your Wordpress site, thoroughly test the site to ensure everything is functioning as expected. Make any necessary adjustments to address any issues or conflicts that may arise during the integration.

  9. Deploy: Once everything is working correctly, deploy your Wordpress site to your desired hosting environment.

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate and activate Webflow interactions on a Wordpress site.
