What could be the possible reason why the CMS collection lists on the published site are still pointing to the staging link even after updating the collection link to the correct domain and rebuilding the blocks?

There could be several reasons why CMS collection lists on the published site are still pointing to the staging link even after updating the collection link to the correct domain and rebuilding the blocks. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:

1. Cache Issue:

• Solution: Clear the cache and reload the published site to ensure that any cached content is refreshed.

1. Publishing Settings:

• Solution: Double-check the publishing settings to ensure that you have published the site to the correct domain. Sometimes, people mistakenly publish to a staging or test domain instead of the production domain.

1. External Services:

• Solution: If you are using any external services like a CDN or caching service, make sure to clear or refresh the cache on those services as well. This will ensure that the changes are reflected correctly.

1. Link and Collection Field Mismatch:

• Solution: Verify that the collection field being used in the collection list is correctly mapped to the correct link field in the CMS. Sometimes, a wrong field mapping can result in incorrect links being displayed.

1. Incorrect Collection Queries:

• Solution: Review the collection queries used in the collection list. Ensure that the correct filtering conditions or sorting options are applied to pull the correct data from the CMS collection.

1. Custom Code or Scripts:

• Solution: If you have any custom code or third-party scripts on your site, they might be interfering with the correct functioning of the collection lists. Check for any conflicts or errors in the code that could be causing the issue.

1. Webflow Server Issue:

• Solution: Occasionally, there may be server issues on the Webflow side that could lead to incorrect collection list links. In such cases, you can reach out to Webflow support for assistance.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and fix the issue with CMS collection lists pointing to the staging link instead of the correct domain. Remember to republish the site after making any changes to ensure that the updates are live.
