If you want to replace a Webflow tab link with a custom link or button, there are a couple of recommended solutions you can consider:

  1. Use custom code:
  • Create a new div or button element where you want the custom link or button to appear.
  • Give the element a unique class name.
  • In the Webflow Designer, go to the "Custom Code" tab in the page settings.
  • Add a <script> tag and use JavaScript to target the class name of the custom element.
  • Use the JavaScript code to replace the click event of the custom element and redirect the user to the desired URL.
  1. Use the Webflow interactions feature:
  • Select the tab link you want to replace and remove the default link.
  • Create a new button element or use an existing one.
  • Set the desired URL as the link for the button.
  • Go to the "Interactions" panel and add a new interaction to the button.
  • Choose a trigger event (e.g., click) and set the desired action to "Redirect to URL."
  • Enter the URL you want the button to redirect to.

By following these solutions, you can replace a Webflow tab link with a custom link or button. Remember to test your changes to ensure they work as expected.
