Webflow answer

In Webflow, how can I hide specific elements in the footer (such as "Ramin Khaze The Difference" and "Schedule showing") when the URL contains a certain parameter, such as "?mls"? I am a beginner in coding and would appreciate any help. Thank you!

TL;DR

  • Assign unique IDs to the footer elements you want to hide in Webflow Designer.  
  • Add a JavaScript snippet to the “Before </body>” section that checks for ?mls in the URL and hides those elements.

To hide specific footer elements in Webflow when the URL contains a specific parameter like ?mls, you can use a simple custom JavaScript snippet.

1. Identify Elements You Want to Hide

  • In Webflow Designer, select each element you want to hide (e.g., “Ramin Khaze The Difference”, “Schedule showing”).
  • In the Element Settings Panel, give each a unique custom ID (e.g., ramin-footer, schedule-showing).

2. Add Custom Code to Your Project

  • Go to Page Settings (for the page where the rule should apply) or Site Settings > Custom Code (for all pages).
  • Scroll to the Before </body> tag section.
  • Paste this JavaScript snippet:
<script> window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { if (window.location.href.includes('?mls')) { var ramin = document.getElementById('ramin-footer'); var schedule = document.getElementById('schedule-showing'); if (ramin) ramin.style.display = 'none'; if (schedule) schedule.style.display = 'none'; } }); </script>

3. Publish Your Site

  • Click Publish to push changes live and test the behavior.
  • Visit a URL like https://yourdomain.com?mls and confirm the elements are hidden.

4. Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure IDs match the ones you applied to elements in the designer.
  • You can test URLs locally with preview links or on the live domain.

Summary

To hide footer elements based on a URL parameter in Webflow, assign unique IDs to the target elements and use a custom JavaScript snippet in the Before </body> section. The script checks for ?mls in the URL and hides matched elements accordingly.
