There could be several reasons why you are unable to delete or add new blog posts and pages in the Webflow editor. Here are some possible explanations and solutions:

  1. Insufficient permissions: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to delete or add content. Check if you have the appropriate access level for the specific project in Webflow. If you're not the project owner or have limited access, you may need to contact the owner or an admin to grant you the necessary permissions.

  2. Content Editor access limitations: If you are using the Webflow Editor as a content editor, your access may be limited by the project owner or administrator. In this case, you won't be able to delete or add new blog posts and pages. You can reach out to the owner or admin and request the required access or ask them to perform these tasks on your behalf.

  3. Template restrictions: If you are using a pre-designed template or theme from Webflow, it's possible that the template comes with certain restrictions that prevent you from deleting or adding certain content. Review the template documentation or contact the template author to understand any limitations imposed.

  4. CMS plan limitations: If you are using Webflow's CMS (Content Management System) to manage your blog posts and pages, check if you have reached the limits of your CMS plan. Different plans have different limits on the number of blog posts and pages you can add or delete. If you have exceeded your plan's limit, you may need to upgrade your plan or delete some existing posts/pages to make room for new ones.

  5. Technical issues: It's possible that there could be technical issues with Webflow itself or your specific project that are preventing you from deleting or adding content. In this case, it's recommended to reach out to Webflow support for assistance. They can help troubleshoot the issue and provide a resolution.

  6. Cache or browser issues: Clear your browser cache and try accessing the Webflow editor again. Sometimes, cached data or browser issues can interfere with the editor's functionality. Additionally, try accessing the editor in an incognito or private browsing window to rule out any browser extensions causing conflicts.

In any case, it's important to identify the specific cause of the issue before attempting solutions. Contacting Webflow support or consulting the Webflow community forums can also be helpful in resolving editor-related problems.
