Hello,
I’m trying to create section links but for some reason the section part comes up blank when I go to choose a section. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I’ve had some luck with it randomly showing my sections but in most cases it will just show up with nothing available for me to choose.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is my site Read-Only: LINK

Here is another screenshot of the same thing but on a button.
Hi Brier,
Not sure which you’re trying to link to, but your sections need unique IDs in order to be linkable.
Those aren’t sections, you have the ID’s on child elements like Headings.
In my experience, Webflow will show you an ID that is applied to a Section, or a top-level DIV. I expect that anything that is an immediate child of the Body element should work.
I updated my ID so that it was on a section instead of a child element and it still won’t show up under the sections when I try to link anything.
Just a though in case you are trying to choose the page section for a link that is on a different page to the element ID? They can only be set that way when the link and ID are on the same page. If the ID is on a different page, you need to add the link path as an external URL. For example: /get-involved#JoinNetworkSection
Check out Webflow’s Section link resource here if you haven’t already
I think Shane probably guessed your problem.
Here’s an example of it working; I do not know where your Join the Network form is but I found the Join the Consortium one.
ID of test added to section;
Button dropped on the same page, link to section shows;
If you are trying to link from a different page, you can accomplish that using a URL link with the correctly formed relative path and fragment identifier, e.g.;
/about#test
Ah yes, thank you very much, Shane. This is what I was trying to do - setting them up to different pages.
Thanks a lot for your help!
