To fix the issue with the "Scroll Down" link block not scrolling the user to the content on your client's website in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check the structure and hierarchy of your sections: Make sure that the sections you want to scroll to are properly structured and nested within each other. The link block should be placed outside of the sections and have a class applied to it.

  2. Set up the interactions: Select the link block and go to the Interactions panel. Add a new interaction to it by clicking on the "+" button. Choose the trigger event that will initiate the scroll, such as "Mouse click" or "Tap".

  3. Configure the interaction: In the interaction settings panel, choose the action type "Scroll to" from the options. Click on the target field and select the element or section you want to scroll to. You can choose an element by giving it a unique class name or by selecting it directly from the Navigator panel.

  4. Fine-tune the scroll position: By default, Webflow will scroll to the top of the target element. If you want to offset the scroll position, for example, to scroll to the middle of the section, you can add an offset value in the interaction settings. Experiment with different values to achieve the desired scroll position.

  5. Preview and test: Save your changes and preview the website in the Webflow Designer or publish it to a staging environment. Test the "Scroll Down" link block by clicking on it and ensure that it scrolls the user to the intended content.

  6. Troubleshooting: If the scroll feature is still not working, make sure there are no conflicting interactions or custom code that may interfere with the scroll behavior. Check for any console errors in the browser's developer tools that could indicate the cause of the issue. Also, verify that the link block has the correct class applied to it and that the sections have unique class names.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with the "Scroll Down" link block not scrolling the user to the content on your client's website in Webflow.
