Why doesn't the link to the job section on our Webflow page work? It's connected to a button, but when clicked, it shows a 404 error. Can anyone assist?

If clicking a button linked to your Job section results in a 404 error, it's likely due to a broken or incorrect link setup in Webflow.

1. Check the Button Link Settings

• Select the button in the Webflow Designer.
• In the Element Settings panel (orange gear icon), review the Link Settings.
• If it's meant to scroll to a section, ensure it’s set to “Section” and not “URL”.
• If it's linking to a different page or URL, check if the path is correct.

2. Inspect the Section ID

• Ensure that the target section (Jobs section) has the correct ID attribute.
• Select the section element, then in the Element Settings, check the “ID” field.
• The ID must match exactly what the button is referencing. For example, if the button links to #jobs, the section’s ID must be jobs.

3. Avoid External Page Linking Mistakes

• If you're linking to an internal section from another page (e.g., from homepage to the jobs section on About page), you must use the full path:
• Example: /about#jobs
• Linking just #jobs will only work on the same page.

4. Check Published Link

• After editing, publish your site and test the button on the live site, not just the Designer preview.
• Preview mode might behave differently for internal anchors.

5. Verify URL Formatting

• If the button uses a “URL” type link in settings and is typed as www.yoursite.com/jobs, make sure that:
• A “jobs” page actually exists.
• The page slug matches the link exactly (case-sensitive, no typos).

Summary

Your job section button shows a 404 error likely because the link points to a missing or misconfigured destination. Double-check the button’s link type, ensure the section ID exists and matches, and verify full page paths if linking across pages.
