I’m editing a template where the portfolio section has links that are each linking to an href of “#”. I cannot figure out where I can edit that link. I have selected each element of the link - the text, the DIV that contains it, etc and gone to the settings for each and I don’t see an HREF or link value. When I google this topic I end up on Webflow University pages which display message that makes me want to scream of
We’re transitioning to a new UI, and are in the process of updating our Webflow University content.
I did a website before the great UI change and I liked Webflow. This is my first one since it changed and it may be my last. I find the new UI confusing, but more than that all the YouTube videos and Webflow University pages are only only ‘kind of’ right. What was the point of people SHOWING us how to do it, if we can’t follow along, but have to translate to the new UI. Read Only Link
Any help for figuring our where an href setting would be hidden would be appreciated. I feel like I’ve looked everywhere, right mouse clicking, expanding sections… did I mention that I feel ready to scream?
The 6 items inside of Work Grid are actually part of a Lightbox, so they don’t link to actual pages. Further, the elements called Portfolio Link aren’t links, the creator simply called them that.
To solve this, add a new Link Block into Work Grid, give it the class name Portfolio Post. Copy and paste Image into it. Copy and paste Portfolio Link and it’s contents into it too. Essentially you’ve just recreated that portfolio project so that it’s actually a link.
Here’s a quick temporary video (screenshot is for posterity after video is ultimately deleted.)
Thank you so much for recording the video. I managed with your instructions and the video to get the first Portfolio Post to be a clickable link. I was definitely thrown by the elements that were called a link, but weren’t. I also still didn’t understand why when I hovered over the elements that weren’t link, the location in the lower left portion of the browser showed a URL. But I guess I have bigger things to figure out, so thanks again for solving the most urgent mystery.

I got stuck for a bit on making the interaction work again. Is there a way to cut and paste an interaction? I couldn’t figure out how, so finally just added the interaction to the new Link Block that I had created.
