Did a setting or function cause the $ command to stop working for actions in Webflow, specifically in the Members CMS?

There could be several reasons why the $ command may have stopped working for actions in Webflow, especially in the Members CMS. Here are a few possible causes and solutions to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Conflict with other scripts or frameworks: It's possible that there is a conflict between the $ command and other scripts or frameworks being used on your website. This can occur if another script is using the same $ symbol or if there is an issue with the script loading order. To resolve this, you can try using the jQuery command instead of $ to see if it works.

  2. Missing or incorrect code implementation: Double-check that you have implemented the code correctly. Make sure you are using the $ command within the appropriate script tag and that the code is properly placed in the desired location. Additionally, ensure that all necessary scripts and libraries are loaded in the correct order.

  3. Changes in Webflow or CMS updates: Webflow occasionally makes updates and improvements to their platform, including updates to the Members CMS feature. These updates may introduce changes to the way certain commands or functions work. It's essential to stay updated with Webflow's documentation and forums to check if there have been any changes that affect the $ command in the Members CMS section.

  4. Permissions and access limitations: The $ command might not work if you do not have the necessary permissions or access levels for the Members CMS feature. Make sure that you have the appropriate access rights to use the $ command within the Members CMS area.

If none of the above troubleshooting suggestions resolve the issue, it might be worth reaching out to the Webflow support team to further investigate and get assistance with your specific situation.
