To connect an uploaded image from a collection in Webflow when it is not showing up, you can follow these steps:

  1. Double-check the image upload: Make sure you have uploaded the image correctly in the collection field. Verify that the image is in the correct format (e.g., JPEG, PNG), and that it is within the size limits defined by Webflow.

  2. Ensure the correct collection field binding: Check that the image field in the collection is correctly bound to the image element on the page where it should appear. To do this, select the image element and go to the Settings panel on the right. In the Image field, make sure you have selected the correct collection field.

  3. Republish the site: After making changes to the collection or the binding, always remember to republish your site. This step ensures that the updated images are pulled from the collection and displayed on the live website.

  4. Clear cache and hard refresh: Sometimes, the issue might be related to the browser caching the old version of the website. To overcome this, clear your browser's cache and perform a hard refresh by pressing Ctrl + Shift + R (or Command + Shift + R on Mac) on your keyboard. This forces the browser to download the latest changes from the server, including the new images.

  5. Confirm image visibility settings: Check if the image element has any visibility settings that might be causing it to be hidden or not displayed correctly. Click on the Styles panel for the image element and ensure that the visibility is set to "Visible" and that there are no conflicting styles affecting its display.

  6. Check for interaction conflicts: If you have any interactions applied to the image element or its parent elements, it is possible that they are conflicting with the image display. Temporarily disable any interactions and test the image visibility to see if they are causing the issue.

  7. Verify the image URL: Inspect the image element's source code in the browser's DevTools (right-click on the image and select "Inspect") to see if the image URL is correct. Make sure it points to the expected image location and that there are no typos or errors in the URL.

  8. Contact Webflow support: If you have tried all these steps and the image is still not showing up, it may be worth reaching out to Webflow support for assistance. They can provide further troubleshooting and help you identify any underlying issues that may be causing the problem.
