Why is nothing happening when I try to update the success and error states of a form on my About page in Webflow?

If you are experiencing issues when trying to update the success and error states of a form on your About page in Webflow, there could be a few potential causes for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check the form settings: Ensure that the form submission settings are properly configured. In Webflow, you can access the form settings by selecting the form element and opening the settings panel on the right-hand side. Verify that the success and error settings are correctly configured and linked to the appropriate elements.

  2. Review interactions: If you have interactions set up on your About page, they may be conflicting with the form's success and error states. Check for any interactions that may be overriding or interfering with the functionality of these states. Make sure that the interactions do not affect the form submission process.

  3. Test on a different page: Create a new page with a simple form and try updating the success and error states. If it works on the new page but not on the About page, it could indicate a specific issue related to that page. In this case, you may need to isolate and troubleshoot any conflicting elements or settings on the About page.

  4. Publish and clear cache: Sometimes, the changes you make in the Webflow editor may not reflect on the published site due to caching. Publish your site and clear your browser cache to ensure that you are viewing the most up-to-date version.

  5. Check custom code: If you have added any custom code, scripts, or third-party integrations to your About page, they might be causing conflicts with the form's success and error states. Temporarily remove or disable any custom code related to the form and test if the issue persists.

  6. Contact Webflow support: If you've gone through the troubleshooting steps above and are still unable to update the success and error states of your form, it may be best to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They have resources and expertise to help you diagnose and resolve the issue.

Overall, it's important to ensure that your form settings are correct, interactions are not interfering, custom code is not causing conflicts, and that you've eliminated any caching issues. By following these steps and seeking support if needed, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully update the success and error states of your form on your About page in Webflow.
