If the "solution" link on the navbar in your Webflow project is not going to the correct URL, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

  1. Check the link settings:
  • Go to your Webflow project and select the navbar element.
  • Select the "solution" link.
  • In the link settings panel, ensure that the correct URL is entered in the "Link URL" field. Make sure you have included the full URL, including the "https://" or "http://" prefix.
  • If the link is supposed to go to an anchor on the same page, enter the correct anchor ID in the "Link URL" field (e.g., #section-id).
  1. Test the link in the Webflow Designer:
  • Open the Webflow Designer and preview your project in "Preview" mode.
  • Navigate to the page where the navbar with the "solution" link is located.
  • Click on the "solution" link to see if it redirects to the correct URL or scrolls to the correct anchor on the page.
  • If the link works correctly in the Designer, the issue may be specific to the published version of your site.
  1. Check published site settings:
  • Go to your Webflow project dashboard and select the project where the navbar is located.
  • In the settings panel, click on the "Hosting" tab.
  • Check if you have set the correct custom domain or subdomain for your site. If you haven't set a custom domain, double-check the default Webflow subdomain to ensure it matches the URL you are using in the "Link URL" field.
  1. Publish your site again:
  • If all the settings appear to be correct, try republishing your site to ensure that any changes you made are applied correctly.
  • After publishing, test the "solution" link again on the live version of your site to see if it goes to the correct URL or anchor.
  1. Clear your browser cache:
  • In some cases, browser caching can interfere with link redirections. Try clearing your browser cache and then test the link again.

If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, it may be helpful to reach out to the Webflow support team or consult the Webflow community forums for further assistance.
