To resolve the issue of your picture not appearing in the Hero section of your Webflow site, follow these steps:

  1. Check the image file: First, ensure that the image file you are trying to display is in the correct format (e.g., JPEG, PNG) and is not corrupt or damaged.

  2. Confirm the image source: Double-check if the image source is set correctly in the Webflow Designer. To do this, open the Designer and select the Hero section. Look for the image element and make sure the correct image file is selected as the source.

  3. File size and resolution: Large files or high-resolution images may cause slow loading or may not display correctly in some browsers. Consider optimizing the image file by reducing its size and resolution without compromising the visual quality.

  4. Check the element properties: Make sure that the image element in the Hero section has the correct dimensions and styling properties. Verify that the width and height are set appropriately and that there are no conflicting styles or positioning settings that may be affecting the visibility of the image.

  5. Browser compatibility: Test the Hero section in different browsers to see if the image appears consistently across platforms. Certain browsers may have compatibility issues or restrictions that prevent images from displaying correctly. Consider employing browser-specific CSS fixes if needed.

  6. Clear browser cache: Sometimes, the browser cache may cause images to not display properly. Try clearing your browser cache and then reload the page to see if the issue is resolved.

  7. Cross-reference with published site: If the image appears in the Webflow Designer but not when the site is published, check the published site on different devices and see if the issue persists. If it does, it may indicate a problem with the image file or the way it is being hosted.

  8. Re-upload the image: If nothing else works, try re-uploading the image file to the Webflow assets panel and update the image source in the Hero section. This could help resolve any potential issues with the previous image file.

Remember to save your changes and publish the site after making adjustments to ensure that the updated image appears correctly on your live site.
