I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulties with exporting your code on your Webflow Basic Site plan. Exporting code is indeed a feature that comes with Webflow paid plans, including the Basic Site plan.
If you're unable to find the export option, there are a few things you can check to ensure that everything is set up correctly:
1. Verify your plan: Double-check that you have a Basic Site plan and that it is active. Log into your Webflow account and go to the "Billing" section to confirm your plan details.
2. Check project settings: Within your Webflow project, navigate to the "Project Settings" panel, accessible from the left-hand sidebar. Scroll down to the "General" tab, and under the "Hosting" section, make sure your export option is enabled.
3. Confirm page availability: Exporting works on a per-page basis in Webflow. Ensure that the pages you want to export are not set to "Draft" or "Unpublished" status. Only published pages can be exported.
If you have reviewed these settings and options and are still unable to export your code, I would recommend reaching out to Webflow support directly. They have a responsive and helpful customer support team that can assist you in troubleshooting the issue further.
In your support ticket, be sure to include a detailed description of the problem, including any error messages or other relevant information, as this will help them better understand the issue and provide you with the appropriate solution.
Remember, Webflow's customer support is there to help you, so don't hesitate to reach out to them for assistance.
