How can I resolve the issue of Webflow CMS items not being accessible after publishing, despite the links being correct?
If you are facing the issue of Webflow CMS items not being accessible after publishing, despite the links being correct, there are a few potential causes and solutions you can try:
1. Check your Collection Pages: Ensure that the Collection Pages for your CMS items are correctly configured. This includes double-checking the slug field and making sure it matches the URL structure you are using. If the slug is incorrect or doesn't match the URL, it can result in inaccessible CMS items.
2. Check Collection Visibility Settings: Make sure that the Collection you are using is set to "Visible" in the Collection settings. If it is set to "Invisible", the CMS items within that Collection will not be accessible on the live site.
3. Verify Collection Filters: If you have applied any filters to your Collection Lists or Collection Pages, it's important to confirm that they are set up correctly. Incorrect filters might cause items to be hidden or inaccessible on the published site. Check the filtering conditions and test them to ensure they are functioning as expected.
4. Check Conditional Visibility: If you have implemented conditional visibility on elements that display CMS items, review the conditions to ensure they are set up correctly. If the conditions are misconfigured, it may result in the items not being visible on the published site.
5. Republish the Site: Sometimes, publishing issues can be resolved by republishing the entire site. Go to the Webflow Designer, click on "Publish" and select "Publish All". This will ensure that any caching or updating issues are resolved by re-uploading all the site files.
6. Reach out to Webflow Support: If you have followed all the steps above and the CMS items are still not accessible after publishing, it may be worth reaching out to Webflow Support for further assistance. They can take a closer look at your specific site configuration and help identify any potential underlying issues.
Remember to thoroughly test the accessibility of CMS items after implementing any changes to ensure they are correctly resolving the problem.
