Is there a solution for adding the articleBody property for CMS pages in Webflow's +Add Field function if the RTE fields are not visible in the drop-down menu?
When using Webflow's CMS functionality, the +Add Field function allows you to add custom fields to your CMS collection items. One commonly used field is the articleBody property, which represents the main content of an article.
However, in some cases, the Rich Text Editor (RTE) fields might not be visible in the drop-down menu of the +Add Field function. This can happen due to various reasons, such as a bug in the system or a specific configuration issue.
To solve this problem and add the articleBody property, you can follow these steps:
Create a new plain text field: Start by creating a new field in the CMS collection and choose the "Plain Text" field type.
Set the correct name: Name the field "articleBody" to match the structured data schema and search engine requirements. This helps search engines understand the content of the page.
Configure the field settings: Once the field is created, you can configure its settings. Set the field to "Rich Text" by clicking on the field name in the CMS collection and selecting "Rich Text" from the field type dropdown menu.
Use custom code: If the RTE option is still not visible, you can use HTML embeds or custom code instead. Add an HTML embed element to your CMS template or page, and use JavaScript or other scripting languages to handle the RTE functionality.
By following these steps, you can effectively add the articleBody property to your CMS pages in Webflow. This allows you to provide structured content to search engines and improve the visibility of your articles in search results. Remember to optimize your content using relevant keywords and headings to further enhance your SEO efforts.
