What could be the possible reasons for receiving a 'page not found' error message on a previously published page in Webflow, even after checking the slugs and access restrictions?
If you are receiving a 'page not found' error message on a previously published page in Webflow, even after checking the slugs and access restrictions, there could be a few possible reasons for this issue. Here are some things to consider and troubleshoot:
Check the page's URL structure: Ensure that there are no typos or misspellings in the URL or slug of the page. The URL should match the slug exactly.
Review the page's visibility settings: Confirm that the page is set to "Published" and not "Draft" or "Unpublished." In Webflow, pages need to be published before they can be accessed by site visitors.
Verify site navigation: Ensure that the page is properly linked in your site's navigation menu or internal links. If the page is not linked correctly, it may give a 'page not found' error when accessed.
Check for conflicting redirect rules: If you have set up any redirect rules in your site settings or on the specific page, make sure they are not conflicting with the page's accessibility. Conflicting redirect rules may redirect visitors away from the intended page and result in a 'page not found' error.
Review access restrictions: If you have set up any access restrictions for certain pages or content, check to make sure that the page in question has the appropriate access permissions assigned. If the page is restricted, it may give a 'page not found' error to visitors who do not meet the access requirements.
Clear cache and refresh the page: Sometimes, a page may display a 'page not found' error due to cache issues. Clear your browser cache and refresh the page to see if that resolves the issue.
Check for broken external links: If you have any external links pointing to this specific page, verify that those links are still valid and not broken. Broken external links can result in a 'page not found' error when clicked.
By troubleshooting these potential issues, you should be able to identify and resolve the 'page not found' error on your previously published page in Webflow.
