Webflow sync, pageviews & more.
NEW

Why are the links for the "Sign Up" and "Log In" pages redirecting to the home page instead of their intended pages on my Webflow website when using Chrome and Edge browsers?

TL;DR
  • Verify link settings in Webflow Designer to ensure "Sign Up" and "Log In" direct to correct internal pages.
  • Check page slugs for correctness and uniqueness, confirm no access restrictions or redirects are applied, and republish the site.

If your "Sign Up" and "Log In" links redirect to the homepage in Chrome and Edge but work elsewhere, the issue typically relates to either broken link settings, page-level restrictions, or site publishing sync issues.

  • Go to the Webflow Designer.
  • Select the “Sign Up” and “Log In” buttons or links.
  • In the Element settings panel, verify that the link type points to the correct internal page name.
  • Make sure you're not linking to a Section ID (e.g., /#) or a blank link, which can cause fallback to homepage.

2. Verify Page Slug and URL Conflicts

  • In the Pages panel, click on the Sign Up and Log In pages.
  • Make sure the slugs (URL paths like /sign-up and /log-in) are correctly set and not duplicated elsewhere or hidden under other parent folders.

3. Check Page-Level Password Protection or Redirection

  • Go to Page Settings (gear icon next to each page in the Pages panel).
  • Ensure there is no redirect script set under “Custom Code” that might be routing to the homepage.
  • If using Memberships, check the access settings (e.g., who can view the page). Unauthorized users may be auto-redirected to the homepage.

4. Republish the Site

  • Go to Project Settings > Publishing.
  • Re-publish to all connected domains.
  • Sometimes updates don’t fully propagate; a fresh publish forces sync.

5. Clear Cache or Use Incognito

  • In Chrome and Edge, clear the browser cache or open your site in an incognito/private window.
  • Cached routing or redirects could cause pages to load incorrectly.

6. Check for Site-Wide Redirects

  • In Project Settings > Hosting, scroll to the 301 Redirects section.
  • Check for any wildcard or manual rules that may be redirecting /sign-up or /log-in to /.

Summary

Your "Sign Up" and "Log In" pages likely redirect due to incorrect link settings, misconfigured page slugs, or access restrictions. Confirm the links target valid page slugs, ensure the pages aren’t protected or redirected, and republish your site for changes to take effect.
