Webflow sync, pageviews & more.
NEW

When can we expect the issue with membership invites in Webflow to be resolved so that I can give my clients access to their blog pages? The share link seems to be sharing only the preview mode of the login, not the actual link that is causing the problem.

TL;DR
  • Invite links are redirecting to preview pages instead of live login pages due to known issues with Webflow Memberships in beta.
  • As a workaround, have users visit your published /login page after accepting the invite, customize after-invite emails to point there, and monitor Webflow updates or contact support for help.

Webflow Memberships users are currently facing issues with the invite flow not sending clients to the correct login/account page after they accept invites. Invite links are directing users to preview-only pages, not live, functional logins.

1. Understand the Ongoing Issue

  • Webflow's Memberships and Logic features are still in beta or limited early access, and some invite-related bugs are known.
  • Current issue: Invite links redirect users to preview versions of the site (e.g., including ?preview=true or showing the Webflow Designer environment), rather than the published domain with an active login form.
  • As of now, no public ETA has been provided by Webflow for a full fix. The issue is acknowledged by users on Webflow forums and is under review by the platform team.

2. Workarounds You Can Use Now

  • Manually send users to the correct login page after the invite. Instead of relying solely on the auto-generated invite link:
  • Have your clients click the invite link to register and set a password.
  • Then immediately instruct them to access the real login page at your published domain, such as yourdomain.com/login.
  • Use custom logic emails: In Webflow Logic settings, try customizing any "After Invite" email (if enabled) to link users directly to a published /login page.
  • Review path redirects: Make sure there's no redirect from invite URL paths to preview or broken versions. Use Webflow’s Site Settings > Hosting > Redirects if needed.

3. Monitor Webflow’s Status and Updates

  • Check the Webflow Updates page (https://webflow.com/updates) and the status page (https://status.webflow.com) for any announcements regarding Memberships fixes.
  • You can also upvote or follow related issues on the Webflow Forum or Wishlist areas to get notified when a fix is shipped.

4. Contact Webflow Support (if urgent)

  • Go to Webflow > Help & Feedback > Contact Support and submit a detailed ticket describing:
  • The steps you took.
  • Sample invite links.
  • The incorrect pages being shown.
  • Although Memberships is in early access, they sometimes provide workarounds or clarify rollout stages when directly contacted.

Summary

Webflow has not yet resolved the issue with invite links redirecting to preview modes instead of active login pages. As a workaround, manually direct users to your published /login page or customize logic emails if available. Keep monitoring Webflow’s updates and contact support if the issue is critical for your clients.
