What could be causing the disappearance of images on multiple pages in Webflow, even after restoring from backup?

There are several possible reasons why images may be disappearing on multiple pages in Webflow, even after restoring from a backup. Here are some potential causes and solutions to consider:

  1. Broken image links: The image URLs may have changed or become broken. This can occur if the images were hosted on a different server or if the file names or paths were modified. To fix this issue, you will need to update the image URLs in your Webflow project to point to the correct location of the images.

  2. Incorrect image settings: The images may have incorrect settings, such as being hidden or set to display only on certain breakpoints or devices. Check the settings for each image element and ensure that they are configured correctly.

  3. Third-party integrations: If you are using third-party integrations or plugins in your Webflow project, they could be interfering with the images. Disable any recently added integrations or plugins and check if the images reappear. If they do, you can then re-enable the integrations or plugins one by one to identify the specific one causing the issue.

  4. CMS changes: If the images are sourced from a Webflow CMS collection, it is possible that changes were made to the collection or the images themselves. Double-check the CMS collection and make sure that the correct images are still associated with each item.

  5. Browser cache: Cached data in your browser can sometimes cause images to not display properly. Clear your browser cache and reload the affected web pages. This can be done by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or Command + Shift + Delete (Mac) to open the browser's clearing cache settings.

  6. Corrupted project file: It is possible that the backup file itself is corrupted or incomplete. Try restoring from a different backup file or contact Webflow support for assistance.

If you have exhausted all these troubleshooting steps and the images still don't appear on your Webflow pages, it may be beneficial to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They will have access to additional resources and can help you identify and resolve the issue more effectively.
