What settings should I update in Webflow to fix the buttons on my home page that are not leading to the correct pages within my domain? Thank you for your help!

TL;DR
  • Check each button’s link settings in the Webflow Designer to ensure they use correct internal page links and relative paths (e.g., /about instead of full URLs).
  • Confirm link destinations exist and slugs are accurate, then publish the site and test live to ensure buttons work properly.

If buttons on your Webflow home page aren't linking correctly, it’s likely due to incorrect link settings or broken internal paths. Here’s how to fix them:

  • Select each button on your home page in the Webflow Designer.
  • In the Element Settings panel (cog icon), look under the Link Settings section.
  • If it’s a Page Link, make sure the correct internal page is selected from the dropdown.
  • If it’s a URL, ensure it starts with a forward slash ( / ) for internal links (e.g., use /about instead of www.yourdomain.com/about).
  • Make sure you're using relative links for internal navigation to avoid issues across staging and custom domains.
  • Example: set the link to /services instead of a full URL like https://yourdomain.webflow.io/services.

3. Check for Renamed or Deleted Pages

  • Go to Pages panel and confirm the destination page exists.
  • If you’ve renamed a page slug, buttons using the old path will break. Update the button’s link to match the new page slug.

4. Test in Published Mode

  • After making changes, publish your site using the Publish button (top-right corner).
  • Check the button behavior on the live site—not just in preview mode—to confirm the links now work properly.

5. Review Redirect Settings (if applicable)

  • Go to Project Settings > Hosting > 301 Redirects.
  • Ensure there are no misconfigured redirects affecting the broken paths.

Summary

Verify that each button uses the correct internal page link, uses relative paths (like /contact), and is pointing to an existing, correctly slugged page. Then republish your site to apply changes.
