If you're experiencing issues with the navigation using IDs in Webflow for a single scroll sections website that uses fullpage.js, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the problem:

  1. Confirm the ID attribute: Ensure that you have given the correct ID attributes to the sections or elements that you want to navigate to. To do this, click on the element or section, and check the ID field in the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Editor. Make sure there are no typos or misspellings in the IDs.

  2. Check section hierarchy: If your website is divided into sections or divs, confirm that the navigation IDs are associated with the correct sections or divs within your fullpage.js structure. Each section should have a unique ID, and the navigation links should point to these IDs.

  3. Review fullpage.js configuration: Ensure that you have set up your fullpage.js configuration correctly. Double-check the anchoring options in the JavaScript code. For example, if you are using the fullpage method to initialize fullpage.js, check the anchors option to make sure it matches the IDs you have assigned to the sections in your Webflow project.

  4. Test the navigation links: Verify that the navigation links are correctly set up by inspecting the HTML markup. Right-click on the navigation link in the browser, select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element," and check the href attribute of the link. It should match the section ID you are trying to navigate to.

  5. Debug the JavaScript console: Open the JavaScript console in your browser's developer tools, and check for any error messages related to the navigation. These error messages can provide valuable insight into what might be causing the issue.

  6. Check conflicts with other scripts: Review any other custom JavaScript you might have implemented on your page and ensure there are no conflicts with fullpage.js. Conflicting scripts can interfere with the smooth functionality of the navigation.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and identify the root cause of your navigation issues with IDs in Webflow for a single scroll sections website using fullpage.js.
