If the image linkblock content is visible on the "Preview" version but not on the "Published" version of your Webflow site, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and resolve the problem:

  1. Check for visibility settings: Ensure that the visibility of the image linkblock content is not set to "Hidden" or affected by any interactions, which may cause it to be hidden on the published site. Double-check the visibility settings for the image linkblock and its parent elements.

  2. Verify the display settings: Make sure that the image linkblock and its parent elements have the correct display properties set. For example, if you are using flexbox or grid layout, confirm that the necessary properties and values are applied correctly.

  3. Clear cache and reload: Sometimes, the issue may be due to cached content in your browser. Clear your browser cache and reload the published version of your Webflow site to see if the image linkblock content appears.

  4. Check publish settings: Ensure that the changes you made to the image linkblock and its content have been successfully published. Go to your Webflow editor and confirm that the changes are reflected in the "Published" mode. If not, republish your site to see if the problem persists.

  5. Test on different devices and browsers: Test your site on different devices and browsers to see if the issue is specific to a particular environment. This can help you identify if the problem is related to a specific device/browser compatibility issue.

  6. Inspect element on the "Published" version: Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the HTML and CSS properties of the image linkblock content on the "Published" version. Look for any potential conflicts or errors that could be causing the content to be hidden.

  7. Review custom code and scripts: If you have added any custom code or scripts to your Webflow site, ensure that they are not interfering with the visibility of the image linkblock content. Check for any errors or conflicts that could be causing the issue.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be best to reach out to Webflow support or browse the Webflow forums for further assistance. Providing specific details about your site's structure and any custom code or interactions you have implemented can help in troubleshooting the issue more effectively.
