Is there a workaround in Webflow to resolve the issue of a button remaining a solid color after being clicked and then going back to the previous page?

To resolve the issue of a button remaining a solid color after being clicked and then going back to the previous page in Webflow, you can utilize Webflow's interactions and states feature.

Here is a step-by-step solution:

  1. Select the button element on your Webflow project.
  2. In the Interactions panel, click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  3. Choose the "Click" trigger for the interaction.
  4. Under the "Affect different elements" section, click on "Element triggers another element" and select the button itself to be triggered.
  5. In the "What happens?" section, click on "Add new action" and choose "Start an animation".
  6. Click on the "New Animation" dropdown and select "While page is loading".
  7. In the "Start" animation, set the button's background color to the desired color when it is clicked. You can also add any other animation effects if needed.
  8. In the "End" animation, set the button's background color back to its original color (the color it had before being clicked).
  9. Save the interaction and test it on the published site.

By using this workaround, the button will change its background color when clicked but will return to its previous color when going back to the previous page. This gives the illusion that the button is going back to its original state.

Remember, using Webflow's interactions and states feature allows you to create dynamic and interactive elements on your website, providing a more engaging user experience.
