Is there a problem with the link setting in this Webflow page, specifically not being able to scroll to the desired page?

The link setting in Webflow can sometimes cause issues with scrolling to a desired page. This is usually due to incorrect anchor link setup or conflicting interactions. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix this problem:

  1. Check anchor link setup:
  • Make sure that you have set up the anchor link correctly on the target page. An anchor link is a link that points to a specific section of a page, indicated by an ID. To create an anchor link, select the element that you want to link to, go to the element settings panel, and give it a unique ID. Then, on the linking element, add a link and set the URL to "#your-id" where "your-id" is the ID you assigned to the target element.
  1. Check interaction settings:
  • If you have interactions applied to the linking element, they might interfere with the scrolling. Open the interaction panel for the linking element and check if any settings are conflicting with the scroll behavior. For example, if you have a scroll into view animation on the linking element, it might prevent the page from scrolling to the target section as intended.
  1. Publish and test:
  • After making any changes, publish your site and test the link to see if it now scrolls to the desired page. Repeat the process until the issue is resolved.
  1. Check for custom code conflicts:
  • If you have added custom code to your site, especially JavaScript code, there might be conflicts affecting the link scrolling. Inspect your custom code and ensure that it does not interfere with the default scrolling behavior.
  1. Contact Webflow support:
  • If you have tried the above steps and still encounter issues with link scrolling, it's recommended to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They will be able to investigate the issue and provide specific guidance based on your site's setup.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve any issues with link scrolling in Webflow.
