Yes, there is a workaround for the bug that prevents unchecking the "Responsive Images" button in Webflow. This bug occurs when you have already published your website and want to disable the "Responsive Images" feature. Here's how you can work around it:

  1. Go to the "Settings" tab in your Webflow Project Dashboard.
  2. Under the "SEO" section, click on "Edit SEO Settings."
  3. In the SEO settings, scroll down to the "Image SEO" section.
  4. Find the "Use responsive images" checkbox and uncheck it to disable the feature.
  5. Save your changes and publish your website again.

This workaround essentially disables the "Responsive Images" feature at the SEO level rather than within the Webflow editor. By unchecking the checkbox in the SEO settings, you ensure that the "Responsive Images" feature is disabled for all images on your website.

By disabling the "Responsive Images" feature, your images will no longer be automatically optimized and resized for different screen sizes. This may affect the loading speed and performance of your website, especially on mobile devices. However, it can be a necessary workaround if you need more control over your image optimization process or you encounter issues with this feature in Webflow.

It's important to note that this workaround may not be ideal for all scenarios, and it is recommended to reach out to Webflow support or consult with a developer if you encounter any difficulties or have specific requirements for image optimization on your website.
