How can I fix the code export option looking like the one from the free plan after upgrading my Webflow plan?

TL;DR
  • Ensure you're on a paid Workspace plan (not just a paid Site Plan), as code export requires a paid Workspace.
  • Confirm the project is owned by the upgraded Workspace and not transferred or shared from another.
  • If issues persist, log out, clear your browser cache, and log back in to refresh access.

If your code export option still looks limited or behaves like the free plan even after upgrading, it usually means there's a mismatch between your account plan and your project plan.

1. Understand Webflow’s Plan Structure

  • Webflow has two types of plans: Account Plans (Designer access features) and Workspace or Site Plans (publishing/hosting).
  • Code export is only available with a paid Workspace (formerly Account) plan, such as Workspace Starter (paid), Freelancer, or higher.
  • If you've only upgraded the Site Plan (e.g., CMS or Business), code export will still remain locked unless the Workspace is upgraded.

2. Confirm Your Workspace Plan

  • Go to Webflow Dashboard.
  • Click your Workspace name (top left).
  • Go to Workspace Settings > Plans.
  • Confirm you're on at least a paid Workspace plan (e.g., Freelancer or Team).
  • If you're still on Free Workspace, you can build, but not export code—even if individual sites have paid Site Plans.

3. Check Project Ownership

  • If the project is not owned by your paid Workspace (e.g., it was transferred into your account or someone shared it), the export may still be limited.
  • Open the project, click the top-left logo, and confirm it's hosted under the correct Workspace.
  • If not, transfer the project into your upgraded Workspace or duplicate the project within the correct Workspace.

4. Use the Correct Export Feature

  • From the Designer, click </> (Export code) in the top-right.
  • If it's still disabled or showing a paywall-like lock, you're either on a free Workspace or the project belongs elsewhere.

5. Logout and Clear Cache (If Recently Upgraded)

  • Sometimes your upgrade won’t reflect due to caching.
  • Logout, clear browser cache, and log back in.
  • Recheck the code export option.

Summary

To fix limited code export after upgrading, make sure you're on a paid Workspace plan, not just a Site Plan, and that the project belongs to that Workspace. Code export is tied to Workspace type—not site-level hosting.
