How can I resolve the issue of images not being displayed on the published Webflow site due to a lack of authorization?

If you're experiencing issues where images are not being displayed on your published Webflow site due to a lack of authorization, it's possible that the images are located in a directory that doesn't have proper permissions set.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Check file permissions: Make sure that the images which are not displaying have the correct file permissions. In most cases, the files should have read permission enabled for everyone. You can typically do this by right-clicking on the image file, selecting "Properties" or "Get Info," and then adjusting the file permissions accordingly.

2. Upload images through the Webflow CMS: If you're using the Webflow CMS to upload and manage your images, make sure that you have properly assigned the correct permissions to the images. You can do this by navigating to the CMS section in your Webflow project, selecting the affected image, and ensuring that it is set to "visible" and not restricted to specific user roles.

3. Use the correct image path: Double-check that the image paths used in your HTML or CSS code are accurate and point to the right location. Sometimes, errors can occur if you're referencing images using incorrect paths, particularly when moving files around within your project. Ensure that the image paths are relative to the root directory or the correct folder location.

4. Check your hosting settings: If you're using Webflow hosting, go to your Webflow project dashboard and navigate to the Hosting tab. From there, check your hosting settings and make sure they are correctly configured. Confirm that your domain settings are accurate and that any custom domain configurations are properly set up.

5. Clear browser cache: Browsers often cache images to improve page load times, so it's possible that your browser is displaying a cached version of the page without the updated images. Clear your browser cache or open your website in an incognito/private browsing window to see if the images now display correctly.

If you've followed these steps and the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to Webflow support for further assistance. They have a dedicated team that can help troubleshoot and resolve specific issues related to authorization and image display on your published Webflow site.
