How can I link to a section in another page in Webflow? The solution suggested in another post did not work for me. Any ideas?

TL;DR
  • Assign a unique ID (without “#”) to the target section in the Element Settings Panel.  
  • Create a link on another page using the format /page-slug#sectionID under Link Settings as an External URL.  
  • Publish the site and test the link on the live site to ensure it scrolls to the correct section.

To link to a specific section on another page in Webflow, you need to ensure both your section and your link are setup correctly. Here’s how to do it.

1. Assign a Unique ID to the Target Section

  • Go to the page containing the section you want to link to.
  • Select the element or section.
  • In the Element Settings Panel (D shortcut), find the “ID” field under the “Element Settings” heading.
  • Enter a unique ID (e.g., features or contact).
  • Do not add the “#” symbol—just the plain ID name.

2. Create the Link on the Other Page

  • Go to the page where the link will be placed.
  • Select the Link BlockButton, or Text Link.
  • In the Link Settings, choose “External URL”.
  • Enter the full relative URL to the other page along with the section ID, like:
  • /about#features
  • /contact#form
  • Make sure the URL path matches the correct page slug (e.g., “/about” if your target page is About).

3. Publish and Test the Link

  • Publish Your Site (the section ID link may not work correctly in Webflow’s Designer preview).
  • Load the page with the link on the live site.
  • Click the link and verify that it scrolls to the correct section on the target page.

4. Check for Common Issues

  • Typos in section ID: Make sure the ID name exactly matches in both the section and the link.
  • Wrong page path: Use the correct page slug. For example, for "About Us" page with slug “about-us”, use /about-us#features.
  • Linking to the home page: If linking to a section on the homepage, use /#sectionID.

Summary

To link to a section on another page in Webflow, assign an ID to the destination section and then link using the format /pagename#sectionID. Double-check the slug and ensure you're testing the link on the published site.
