To get the navigation links in Webflow to map to the proper sections when using the fullpage.js plugin, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Install the fullpage.js plugin:
  • Sign in to your Webflow account and open the project where you want to use the plugin.
  • Go to the project settings and select the "Custom Code" tab.
  • In the "Head Code" or "Footer Code" section, add the necessary CDN link to include the fullpage.js library.
  1. Create your sections:
  • In the Webflow Designer, add a new section for each page or content section that you want to include in your fullpage.js scroll.
  • Make sure each section has a unique class name.
  1. Set up navigation links:
  • Add a navigation menu to your Webflow project using the available components, such as a navbar or a burger menu.
  • For each navigation link, go to its settings, and in the "Link settings" panel, add an ID attribute that matches the class name of the corresponding section.
  • This ID attribute allows the navigation link to map to the correct section in fullpage.js.
  1. Initialize fullpage.js:
  • Open the custom code editor again and add a new script section (or update the existing one).
  • Write a script to initialize the fullpage.js plugin on your chosen element, such as the body element or a specific container element.
  • Include the necessary options in the script to customize the behavior of fullpage.js, such as navigation, scroll speed, and easing.

For example, your initialization script could look like this:

$(document).ready(function() {    $('#fullpage').fullpage({        // Options here        navigation: true,        anchors:['section1', 'section2', 'section3'], // Use the class names of your sections    });});

Important notes:

  • Make sure you have jQuery included in your Webflow project, either by default or by adding it manually before the initialization script.
  • You need to replace #fullpage with the appropriate selector of the element that wraps your sections.

By following these steps, you should be able to map the navigation links in Webflow to the correct sections when using the fullpage.js plugin. Keep in mind that custom code modifications like this may affect the responsiveness and functionality of your site, so it's essential to test thoroughly before publishing.
