If you are experiencing issues with SVG logos and images not loading properly when exporting a website from Webflow and uploading it using Filezilla, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

  1. Check your file paths: Make sure that the file paths for your SVG logos and images are correct. When exporting the website from Webflow, the file paths may change or become absolute. Double-check that the file paths in your HTML or CSS code match the file structure on your server.

  2. Verify file uploads: In some cases, the SVG logos and images may not have been uploaded properly during the file transfer process. Use Filezilla to verify that the files have been successfully uploaded to the correct location on your server. Pay attention to any error messages or warnings that may appear during the upload process.

  3. Clear your cache: Cached files on your browser can sometimes cause issues with loading SVG logos and images correctly. Clear your browser cache to ensure that you are loading the latest versions of the files. You can usually do this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Command+Shift+Delete (Mac) in most browsers.

  4. Check file permissions: Incorrect file permissions can prevent SVG logos and images from loading properly. Make sure that the file permissions for the SVG files and any folders they are stored in are set correctly. Generally, permissions should be set to 644 for files and 755 for folders.

  5. Use relative paths: Instead of using absolute paths for your SVG logos and images, use relative paths. Relative paths are based on the file's location, making them more flexible and ensuring that the correct file is loaded regardless of the server directory structure. For example, instead of using "http://www.example.com/images/logo.svg", you can use "../images/logo.svg" to indicate that the file is located one level up in the directory hierarchy.

  6. Consider using an alternative file format: If you're still facing issues with SVG logos and images not loading properly, you may want to consider converting them to a different image format, such as PNG or JPG. While SVG files offer scalability and smaller file sizes, they may not be supported by all web browsers. Converting them to a different format could help resolve compatibility issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix any issues with SVG logos and images not loading properly when exporting a website from Webflow and uploading it using Filezilla.
