Troubleshooting HTML Embed Code in Webflow

When working with Webflow, it's common to encounter issues with HTML embed code. If you're experiencing problems with your HTML embeds, follow these troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve any issues:

1. Check code validity

• Ensure your HTML embed code is valid by copying it into an HTML validation tool like the W3C Markup Validation Service. This will check for any syntax errors or missing tags in your code.
• Fix any errors or warnings identified by the validation tool before proceeding to the next step.

2. Review code placement

• Make sure you have placed the HTML embed code in the correct location within your Webflow project. Verify that it is placed within the appropriate HTML Embed element or component on your page.
• If needed, try different placement options or locations within your project to see if the code works correctly.

3. Check for conflicting code or settings

• Check if there are any conflicting code snippets or settings in your Webflow project.
• Look for any JavaScript or CSS code that might interfere with your HTML embed code. Disable or remove these elements temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
• If you have custom code in the project settings, try disabling it temporarily to see if it affects the behavior of your HTML embed code.

4. Verify data sources or API connections

• If your HTML embed code relies on data sources or APIs, check if these connections are functioning correctly. Ensure that you have the necessary API keys and permissions for accessing the data.
• Test the data source or API connection separately, outside of Webflow, to confirm that it is providing the expected data.

5. Test in different browsers and devices

• Sometimes, HTML embed code can work differently across various browsers or devices. Test your code on different browsers (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari) and devices (e.g., desktop, mobile) to see if the issue persists across all platforms.
• Use browser developer tools to inspect the code and identify any errors or warnings that might be causing the problem.

6. Contact Webflow support

• If none of the above steps resolve your issue, reach out to Webflow support for assistance. Provide them with detailed information about your problem, including the HTML embed code, any error messages, and steps to reproduce the issue.
• Webflow's support team is knowledgeable and responsive, and they can offer specific guidance to help troubleshoot and resolve your HTML embed code problems.
