How can I fix the issue of a button on my website homepage linking to the old URL instead of the new URL in Webflow?
If you're facing the issue of a button on your website homepage linking to the old URL instead of the new URL in Webflow, there are a few steps you can take to fix this problem:
Check the button link: Begin by making sure that the button's link is correctly set to the new URL. To do this, select the button on your homepage in Webflow's Designer and check the link settings in the right-hand panel. Ensure that the correct URL has been entered in the link field.
Publish your changes: After updating the button's link, publish your website in Webflow to make the changes live. Sometimes, a cache issue can cause old URLs to be retrieved. By republishing, you ensure that the latest version of your website with the updated button link is displayed.
Clear your browser cache: Even after publishing your website, your browser may still cache the old URL, causing the button to link to the wrong page. To resolve this, clear your browser's cache and reload the page. This helps ensure that your browser retrieves the latest version of your website with the updated button link.
Test on different devices and browsers: The issue might be specific to a particular device or browser. Test your website and the button link on different devices and browsers to see if the issue persists. If the button works fine on some devices or browsers but not others, it might be a compatibility issue that needs to be addressed.
Check for conflicting interactions or scripts: If you're using interactions or custom scripts on your website, there might be a conflict causing the button to link incorrectly. Review your interactions and scripts to see if anything is interfering with the button's functionality. Temporarily disabling any interactions or custom code related to the button can help identify the cause of the issue.
Review your website's navigation structure: Double-check your website's navigation structure to ensure that there are no outdated or conflicting menu items or links that could be overriding the button's link. Sometimes, menu items can be set to redirect to a specific URL, overriding the button's assigned link.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of a button on your website homepage linking to the old URL instead of the new URL in Webflow. Remember to thoroughly test the button's functionality across different devices and browsers to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
