If the in-page links in Webflow are not working when you navigate to other pages of the website, there are a few possible reasons and solutions for this issue:

Ensure proper link structure: Double-check that the in-page links are correctly set up. In Webflow, in-page links use anchor tags (#) followed by the ID of the element you want to link to. Make sure the IDs match the corresponding elements on the page.
Consider the link destination: If the in-page links are pointing to elements on the same page as the link, they should work regardless of the page you are currently on. However, if the links are pointing to elements on other pages of the website, you need to include the page name in the link destination URL. For example, if you have an in-page link pointing to an element with the ID "section1" on the "About" page, the link destination should be "/about#section1" instead of just "#section1".
Check the link type: In Webflow, you have the option to choose between different link types: regular, page scroll, or external URL. Make sure you have selected the appropriate link type for your in-page links. Page scroll links are typically used for in-page navigation.
Verify that scroll animations are enabled: If you have applied scroll animations to the elements you are linking to, ensure that the animations are enabled and functioning correctly. Scroll animations can sometimes interfere with in-page links if not set up correctly.
Inspect custom code: If you have custom code added to your website, particularly JavaScript or jQuery code, it is possible that it is interfering with the functionality of the in-page links. Check your custom code to ensure there are no conflicts or errors.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix any issues with in-page links not working when navigating to other pages in your Webflow website. Remember to test your website thoroughly after making any changes to ensure the links are functioning as expected.
