To troubleshoot the issue you're experiencing with grabbing the 'author' and 'subject' fields and placing them in the next and previous sections on your post page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Check your Collection fields:

Make sure that you have properly set up your Collection fields for 'author' and 'subject'. Double-check the field types and names to ensure they match the data you want to display.

Verify Collection binding:

In the CMS Collection settings, go to the 'Collection Page' tab. Confirm that the 'Post Page' template is correctly connected to the collection.
On the post page template, check that you have added dynamic elements or embeds to display the 'author' and 'subject' fields.

Check the binding settings for the next and previous sections:

Ensure that the 'next' and 'previous' sections on your post page are properly connected to the Collection.
Review the dynamic element bindings within these sections. Make sure you have correctly set them to pull in the relevant 'author' and 'subject' information.

Preview and test:

Save your changes and publish your site.
Preview your post page and test the functionality of the next and previous sections.
If the issue persists, check the browser console for any error messages that may provide clues about the problem.

Optimizing for search engines:

Include keywords such as 'Webflow', 'troubleshoot', 'grabbing fields', 'next and previous sections' in your content for search engine optimization.
Use relevant subheadings to make it easy for search engines to understand the structure and intent of your answer.
Repeat important information and keywords throughout the text but maintain a natural flow of the content.
Utilize bullet points and numbered lists to enhance readability and provide concise steps.
