Cannot showcase website at all

Hey there! I just finished an awesome website, which is live at https://thediaryoflouise.ca and I’d like to showcase it on the Made in Webflow page. When I try to create the site in the Design Responsive Websites - Webflow page, I get a Failed to create site error. Also, the preview of the website is an error 404 page. Furthermore, when I paste the link https://thediaryoflouise.ca in a messenger conversation or elsewhere, the preview link also shows an error 404… My metas are set, and everything is working fine upon accessing the website.

Help?!


Here is my site Read-Only: Webflow - The diary of Louise

I ran your website through an opengraph debugger operated by facebook and I noticed something funky with your canonical url’s (see the results here) I’d recommend removing the current canonical URL setup and seeing if that solves your issue.

It looks like your canonical URL is telling social medias to look for: https://www.thediaryoflouise.ca/thediaryoflouise.ca instead of your actual site as seen in the image below

Hey @austin ! Thanks for the reply! Indeed, this was a problem I had seen previously, but fixing it didn’t resolve the possibility of showcasing my site…

Please see attached screenshot with current error.

I have this same problem. Did you get it resolved? Frustrating!

Hey Scott, I just resolved this myself. I didn’t have the .webflow.io website published and only the version that’s linked to my domain published.

So just make sure you’ve got both versions published and you’ll get around the 404 error to showcase your website. Hope this helps!

Same problem here but my webflow.io version is published. However, a majority of my sites are frontend developed/designed in Webflow and then exported to bind with another CMS platform, so there’s no custom domain associated with them. The staging sites work for most other projects but the one I’m trying to feature now is from 2015, so maybe older sites lose the capacity to be showcased.

Edit: Realizing the projects I’m having issues with were created before upgrading to the newer version of the pro plan. I’m able to add these to my community profile after creating a duplicate of the site. Rare scenario but maybe this post will help someone, some day.
