To fix a 404 error when trying to access the blog posts page on Webflow, follow these steps:

Check the published URL: Ensure that the URL for your blog posts page is correct and properly configured. Double-check the slug of your blog posts page in the Webflow Designer or Editor and make sure it matches the URL you are using to access it.
Check the page settings: In the Webflow Designer or Editor, go to the settings of your blog posts page. Confirm that the page is set to "published" and that it is included in your site's sitemap.
Check the blog posts collection: If you are using a Collection to manage your blog posts, make sure that the collection is set up correctly. Check that the collection template is properly connected to your blog posts page. Verify that the collection items are published and do not have any conflicting settings that could cause a 404 error.
Check for broken links: If you have internal or external links on your blog posts page, ensure that they are not broken. Broken links can cause a 404 error when clicked. You can use online tools or browser extensions to check for broken links on your website.
Republish the site: Sometimes, republishing your entire site can fix the issue. In the Webflow Designer or Editor, go to the "Publish" settings and click on the "Publish" button to republish your site. This can help refresh any cache or update any necessary redirects that may be causing the 404 error.
Check custom code or redirects: If you have added any custom code or redirects to your Webflow site, review them to ensure they are not interfering with the blog posts page. Incorrect or conflicting code or redirects can lead to 404 errors. Make sure that any redirects are properly configured and that they point to the correct destination.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix the 404 error when trying to access the blog posts page on Webflow.
