Why isn't the typo in the footer component updating across all instances on my published Webflow site?
When encountering issues with a typo not updating across all instances of a footer component on a published Webflow site, there are a few possible reasons and solutions to consider:
Publishing - Ensure that you have properly published your website after making the changes. If the updated typo is not reflecting, it could be because the changes were not published to the live site. To resolve this, navigate to the Webflow Designer, make the necessary edits, and publish the site again.
Caching - Web browsers often cache website files to improve loading speed. If the typo in the footer is not updating, it may be due to the browser caching the previous version of the site. To bypass this, try clearing your browser cache or opening the site in an incognito or private browsing window to see if the updated typo shows correctly.
Collection item - If you are using a CMS-driven footer component with collection items, make sure that you have updated the correct collection item that is linked to the footer across all instances. Check the collection item for any typos or inconsistencies and correct them if necessary.
Symbols or classes - If the footer component is used as a symbol or contains any shared classes, it is possible that the typo is not updating due to outdated or overridden styles in those symbols or classes. Check the symbol or shared class instances and ensure that the typo has been corrected there as well.
Responsive breakpoints - When using responsive design in Webflow, make sure to check that the typo has been updated across all breakpoints. It is possible that the change has been made in one breakpoint, but not in others. Switch to different breakpoints to ensure the updated typo is consistent.
In conclusion, if you are experiencing issues with a typo not updating across all instances of a footer component on a published Webflow site, it is crucial to ensure that the site is properly published, clear the browser cache, check collection items, symbols, and shared classes, and review all responsive breakpoints.
