There could be several reasons why the link to the Category Page from your blog post page in Webflow is leading to a blank white page in a new tab. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect URL or routing issue:
  • Check that the URL of the Category Page is correct and matches the one provided in the link.
  • Ensure that the routing is properly set up in Webflow.
  • Make sure there are no conflicting routes or duplicate slug names.
  1. Missing content or unpublished page:
  • Check if the Category Page has content added to it. If it is empty, it will appear as a blank page.
  • Ensure that the Category Page is published and not set to draft or password-protected.
  1. Broken link or missing CMS item:
  • Verify that the link to the Category Page is correctly set up and pointing to the correct collection or CMS item.
  • Check if the CMS item associated with the category exists and is published.
  1. Custom code interference:
  • If you have added custom code to your Webflow project, examine it for any errors or conflicts that could be affecting the link.
  • Disable any custom code temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
  1. Cache or browser issue:
  • Clear your browser cache and try opening the link again.
  • Test the link in different browsers or incognito/private mode to see if the issue persists.
  1. Webflow hosting issue:
  • If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there might be a problem with the Webflow hosting servers. Contact Webflow support for assistance and let them know about the issue you are facing.

Remember to test each potential solution systematically to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If one solution doesn't work, move on to the next until the issue is resolved.
