Yes, there is a workaround for the 20 collection lists limitation in Webflow for one-pagers. Here's how you can go about it:
- Combine related data - Instead of having multiple collection lists for each section, consider combining related data into a single collection list. For example, if you have multiple sections that display team members, you can create a single collection list and add a filter based on the section or category.
- Use dynamic embeds - If you still need to display more than 20 different collection lists, you can use dynamic embeds. Instead of using collection lists directly, you can embed a dynamically populated HTML or JavaScript code into a rich text element. This will allow you to fetch the data from the Webflow CMS and display it as needed.
- Use multi-reference fields - Another approach is to use multi-reference fields in Webflow CMS. These fields allow you to link multiple collection items together, creating relationships between different collections. By using multi-reference fields, you can display content from different collections on a single page without exceeding the 20 collection list limit.
- Consider using custom code - If you are comfortable with custom code, you can leverage Webflow’s API and write custom code to retrieve and display collection data on your one-pager. This would enable you to fetch and display as much data as needed without any limitations.
By using these workarounds, you can overcome the 20 collection lists limitation in Webflow for one-pagers and create more flexible and dynamic layouts for your website.
