For some reason, my pages are not showing when I publish. This is a new situation, I’ve never had this problem before. The pages do show up just fine when I click the little “play” icon, just the published pages are not showing up.
I’m not clicking on a link and they are not showing up, immediately after I publish I click the little arrow, the web browser opens as usual, but there is no page to display. I have looked at the Inspect Element and even there the page does not exist. I don’t get it.
Update: When I add one item in the CMS collection of the page, the pages show up.
E.g. I made a CMS page called “Announcements”. If I add content to that CMS, the link to that page changes for every Announcement I create and the end of the URL includes one of the announcements’ names.
I wanted to create an Announcements page and dynamically populate the page with each new announcement submitted.
My workaround was to create a second CMS that holds all of the form submissions, then dynamically pull in the content into the Announcements page. Structurally, this works. But because the dynamic Announcements page has no items inside of it, the page was “Not Found”.
I don’t consider this a solution, but for each CMS page I made I added one item naming it “page”. The page now loads and shows in the browser, but now each CMS page URL includes the word “page”.
Not sure if my CMS structure is all wrong, or if this is to be expected, but if anyone knows of a different way to work around this I’m open to suggestions.
I didn’t understand what you are trying to do from your site, however this part seems to be a question about path formation. In Webflow all CMS pages are pathed with the pattern;
/{collection-slug}/{item-slug}
or /.../{collection-slug}/{item-slug} if you have specified a parent folder
You can change the collection slug under that collection’s settings, but you cannot remove it in native Webflow.
