How can I make my custom code work in Webflow without using the 'custom code' 'footer' section?
If you want to add custom code to your Webflow project without using the "Custom Code" footer section, there are a few alternative methods you can use. These methods allow you to include custom code directly into specific elements, pages, or the entire site. Here's how you can make your custom code work in Webflow without relying solely on the "Custom Code" footer section:
- Embed code element: The Embed Code element in Webflow allows you to add custom code directly to specific elements or pages. To use this method, follow these steps:
- Drag and drop an Embed Code element onto the page where you want to add the code.
- Double-click on the Embed Code element and paste your custom code into the code field.
- Adjust the element's position and size as required.
- Publish or export your site to see the custom code in action.
- Page-level custom code: If you want to apply custom code to a specific page, you can use custom code entered directly in the page settings. Here's how:
- Open the page settings by selecting the page from the Pages panel.
- In the right sidebar, click on the "Custom Code" tab.
- Enter your custom code in the "Footer code" or "Head code" fields, depending on where the code should be placed.
- Save the changes and publish or export your site for the custom code to take effect.
- Site-wide custom code: To apply custom code across your entire Webflow site, use the custom code section in the Project Settings. Here's how:
- Go to the Project Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Designer.
- Select the "Custom Code" tab.
- Enter your custom code in the "Footer code" or "Head code" fields to place the code throughout your site.
- Save the changes and publish or export your site to apply the custom code to all pages.
These alternative methods allow you to include custom code directly into specific elements, pages, or the entire site, providing flexibility and control over where your code is executed.
Why should I avoid using the 'Custom Code' footer section for all my custom code?

Is there a limit to the amount of custom code I can add in Webflow?
