I am migrating a wordpress site to webFlow, i forsee an issue in linking the images loaded up to webflow with a csv upload.
my plan was to upload all images (around 4,000) and upload a csv with url linking the images in the cms collection as there will be 600 pages built via cms collections.
so i was going to amend the url in the CSV with cdn / “site or folder id” (not sure what the directory number is) e.g.
Hi Richard, I’m unsure what you’re asking, but you have two approaches for loading images into your Webflow site.
Import them. Store them on a public url, meeting webflow’s requirements ( 4mb max, etc. ). Then import using CSV or the API. This will clone the image into Webflow’s CDN, with the filename adjusted, and Webflow will serve them.
Link them. Store them elsewhere, e.g. Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Bunny .net, Wordpress, etc. Import the URL into a link field or a plaintext field, and compose and reference the IMG elements yourself.
You don’t create the “amended” CDN names, you simply supply your image on a publicly accessible URL and Webflow does the rest.
You did understand my question and answered it - there is no way of hosting the images on webflow and being able to link the images in csv without manually changing the file name urls - not even a find / replace in the CSV with the starting part of the URL as the image name gets a unique number at the being of the name.
