What could be causing an old slug to consistently repopulate on active links with the page title and slug in Webflow?
If you are experiencing an issue where an old slug consistently repopulates on active links with the page title and slug in Webflow, there are a few potential causes to consider. Addressing these potential causes can help resolve the issue and ensure that the correct slugs are being used for your active links.
Cached Data: It's possible that your browser or caching system is displaying outdated data, including the old slug. To rule out this possibility, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page. You can also try using a different browser or viewing the page in an incognito/private browsing window to see if the issue persists.
CMS Collection Slug Field: If you are using a CMS collection in Webflow, the slug field of each collection item determines the page URL. Make sure that the slug field for each item is set correctly and does not contain the old slug. If it does, update the slug field to the correct value and republish the site to ensure the changes take effect.
Page Settings: Check the page settings of each affected page in your Webflow project. Ensure that the correct slug is set for each page. If the old slug is present, update it with the correct value and republish the site.
URL Redirects: If you have set up any URL redirects in Webflow or in your hosting provider's settings, they might be causing the old slug to repopulate on active links. Review your redirect settings to make sure they are not redirecting to the old slug. If they are, update the redirect rule to point to the correct URL.
Dynamic Link Binding: If you have used dynamic link binding in your Webflow project, ensure that the binding is correctly set up and is not referencing the old slug. Check the element settings and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the correct slug is being used.
By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to resolve the issue and ensure that the correct slugs are being used for your active links in Webflow.
