If you're experiencing issues with the back to top button on your Webflow site leading to a 406 Not Acceptable link when published, there are a few potential causes for this problem. Here are some steps you can take to fix it:

  1. Verify the link: Double-check the link associated with the back to top button. Make sure it is correctly set to scroll to the top of the page rather than linking to a specific URL. This can usually be done by opening the settings for the button element and checking the "Link settings" or "Interaction settings".

  2. Check for conflicting interactions: If you're using interactions or animations on your page, there may be a conflict that is causing the 406 Not Acceptable error. Look for any other interactions that may be interfering with the back to top button's functionality. Temporarily disable these interactions one by one to identify the potential conflict.

  3. Review custom code: If you have added any custom scripts or code to your Webflow project, it's possible that this could be causing the issue. Check through your custom code for any potential errors or conflicts that could be impacting the back to top button. Consider removing or modifying the code to see if it resolves the problem.

  4. Clear cache and republish: Sometimes, caching issues can cause unexpected behavior. Clear your browser cache and then republish your Webflow site to ensure you're viewing the latest changes. This can help resolve any temporary issues.

  5. Test on different browsers and devices: The 406 Not Acceptable error may be specific to certain browsers or devices. Test the back to top button on different browsers and devices to see if the problem occurs consistently or only in certain circumstances. This information can help identify the cause of the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with the back to top button leading to a 406 Not Acceptable link when published on your Webflow site.
