How can I use Webflow to replace the image in my button with an icon that is part of the button and still be able to add a link block?

You want to replace an image inside a button with an icon while keeping the entire button (including the icon) as a clickable link block. Here's how you can do that in Webflow.

1. Use a Link Block Instead of a Button Element

• Drag a Link Block from the Add panel (A) into your layout.
• This will allow the entire area to be clickable and function like a button with link functionality.

2. Add an Icon Inside the Link Block

• Inside the Link Block, drag in an Image element or use an embedded SVG icon.
• For a static image: Drag an Image and upload your icon.
• For an SVG icon: Use the Embed component and paste the inline SVG code.
• Optionally, add Text or other elements next to the icon for a complete button design.

3. Style the Link Block as a Button

• Select the Link Block and give it a class (e.g., icon-button).
• Use padding, background color, border radius, hover states, etc. to make it look like a button.
• Set display: flex to horizontally align the icon and text within the button.
• Use gap or margin between icon and text for spacing.

4. Ensure Click Functionality

• The entire Link Block (including icon and any text) will be clickable.
• Set the URL in the Link Block settings to the desired page or external link.

5. Optional: Use Webflow's Icon Integration

• If using SVGs from Webflow’s Icon Libraries (via an Embed or manual upload):
• You’ll get faster loading and better scalability.
• You can style the SVG using classes and adjust size/color directly in Designer.

Summary

Use a Link Block instead of a Button element, insert your icon inside the Link Block, and style it to look like a button. This approach keeps everything clickable, visually customizable, and linkable.
