Can you assist with an issue on our Webflow site involving the "Jobs" button on the jobs page?
TL;DR
- Check the "Jobs" button link settings to ensure it correctly targets the intended page or anchor.
- Verify the page slug matches the link and isn’t unnecessarily reloading the same page.
- Review if the button is inside a Navbar symbol that may override the link, or if there’s conflicting custom code or interactions.
- Test in both Webflow Preview and published live mode, and try clearing browser cache or using Incognito to rule out caching issues.
You're experiencing an issue with the "Jobs" button on your Webflow site's Jobs page. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve common problems related to navigation buttons or page links in Webflow.
1. Check Button Link Settings
- Select the "Jobs" button in the Webflow Designer.
- In the Element Settings panel (D shortcut), verify where the button is linking.
- If it’s a Page link, confirm that it correctly links to the "Jobs" page.
- If it’s an Anchor link, ensure the target ID exists and is spelled exactly the same (e.g.,
#jobs-section).
2. Verify Page Slug
- Go to Pages Panel and select your "Jobs" page.
- Check the URL slug. If the slug is
/jobsand your button is linking to/jobs, it might be trying to reload the same page unnecessarily. - This can be confusing if the button has scroll effects or listeners that only work once or aren’t intended for same-page reloads.
3. Review Navbar or Symbol Links
- If your “Jobs” button is part of a Navbar symbol, confirm that the link isn't being overridden or cached incorrectly.
- Try unlinking the Symbol temporarily and recreate the button/link to test behavior.
4. Inspect Custom Code or Interactions
- Look in the Page Settings and Page Load interactions for custom code or page triggers that may interfere when clicking "Jobs" while already on the Jobs page.
- Check if any click interactions or JavaScript is misfiring or preventing default behavior.
5. Test in Preview and Live Mode
- Use Webflow Preview mode to test button behavior.
- Also, publish your site and test the button in a live browser. Some bugs only appear after publishing due to Webflow script differences.
6. Clear Browser Cache or Use Incognito
- Occasionally, browser caching can interrupt or mislead navigation behavior. Try in an incognito window or clear your browser cache.
Summary
To fix your "Jobs" button issue, ensure it’s correctly linked within Webflow’s settings, that it's not pointing to the current page unnecessarily, and that no conflicting interactions or custom code are disrupting behavior. Testing in both preview and live environments will confirm the fix.
