Why are the links for the "Sign Up" and "Log In" pages redirecting to the home page instead of their intended pages on my Webflow website when using Chrome and Edge browsers?
TL;DR
- Ensure page slugs match the correct URLs in Webflow Designer and update navigation links accordingly.
- Verify link settings, avoiding anchor links if incorrect redirection occurs.
- Check Webflow Memberships to confirm "Sign Up" and "Log In" pages are properly assigned.
- Clear browser cache and cookies, then test in Incognito Mode.
- Look for incorrect 301 redirects in Project Settings and remove any unintended rules.
- Test in different browsers to rule out browser-specific issues.
Your "Sign Up" and "Log In" links redirecting to the home page instead of their intended pages in Webflow is likely due to one of the following issues: incorrect page permissions, broken URL settings, or browser conflicts.
1. Check Page Slugs
- Go to Webflow Designer and select your "Sign Up" and "Log In" pages.
- Look at the Page Settings (gear icon) and ensure the slug matches the URL you are using in your navigation links.
- If they are incorrect, update the links in your Navbar or Button settings accordingly.
2. Verify Link Settings
- If you are using anchor links (e.g.,
/#login), ensure that your links are set to direct to a separate page rather than just an anchor on the home page. - Update link settings by selecting the correct page in Webflow’s link manager instead of manually entering the URL.
3. Check Webflow Membership Settings (If Applicable)
- If your project uses Webflow Memberships, go to Project Settings > Memberships and check if the "Sign Up" or "Log In" pages are correctly assigned.
- If not assigned, Webflow may default to redirecting them.
4. Examine Browser Cookies and Cache
- Clear the cache in Chrome and Edge by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Browsing Data and deleting cookies.
- Test in Incognito Mode to check if the issue persists.
5. Check for Redirects in Webflow
- Go to Project Settings > Publishing > 301 Redirects and look for any rules redirecting "/sign-up" or "/log-in" to the home page.
- Remove any incorrect redirects and publish the site again.
6. Test on Another Browser
- If the issue is browser-specific, test in Firefox or Safari to confirm whether it is limited to Chrome and Edge.
Summary
Check that your page slugs and links are correctly assigned, clear browser cache, and verify that Webflow Memberships or 301 redirects aren’t affecting the navigation. If none of these steps resolve the issue, try republishing the site and testing in an incognito window.
