There can be several reasons why the button on your website, which is linked to another page, is not working properly in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and their solutions:

Incorrect link or URL:

Double-check that the link or URL in the button's settings is correct. Make sure it includes the necessary protocol (e.g., "http://" or "https://") and the correct domain or page path.

Broken link or missing page:

Ensure that the page or destination you're linking to actually exists. Check if the target page was deleted or moved to a different location. If needed, update the link with the correct URL or select the page from the dropdown menu in the button's settings.

Interactions or custom code conflicts:

If you're using interactions or custom code on the button or the linked page, it's possible that conflicts between scripts or conflicting interactions are causing the button not to work. Check for any JavaScript errors in the browser console and test the button without any interactions or custom code applied to isolate the issue.

Overlay or hidden elements:

Ensure that there are no overlaying elements or elements with a higher z-index that may be covering the button or interfering with its functionality. Check the layering and visibility settings of the elements.

Button state or styling issues:

Verify that the button is enabled and not in a disabled state. Check the button's styling to ensure it is readable and visible on the page. Adjust its position, color, or size if necessary.

Webflow hosting issues:

If you're hosting your website on Webflow, occasional hosting-related issues may occur. Check the Webflow status page or contact Webflow support for any ongoing issues that could affect the performance of your website.

Remember to republish your website after making any changes to ensure that the updates are live. By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your button not working properly in Webflow.
