Webflow allows you to add custom code to your website in a few different ways, depending on where you want the code to be applied:
1. Site-wide Code:
- This injects your code into the
<head>or<body>tag of all your website’s pages. - Go to your Project Settings in Webflow.
- Click on the Custom Code tab.
- You’ll see sections for code in the
<head>and<body>tags. Paste your code into the appropriate section. - Click Save Changes.
2. Custom Code Embed:
- This lets you embed code directly onto your Webflow canvas, affecting a specific area of your website.
- In the Webflow designer, add a Code Embed element to your canvas where you want the code to appear.
- Paste your custom code into the embed’s settings.
- Click Save in the embed settings.
3. Code in Rich Text Fields (CMS):
- If you’re using Webflow’s CMS (Content Management System), you can add custom code snippets within rich text fields.
- Open the rich text element where you want the code.
- Click the “+” icon and select Custom Code.
- Paste your code snippet and click Save.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when adding custom code:
- Understanding Code: Make sure you understand the code you’re adding and how it might interact with your Webflow website.
- Testing Thoroughly: Always test your website thoroughly after adding custom code to ensure everything functions as expected.
- Potential Conflicts: Custom code can sometimes conflict with Webflow’s built-in functionalities. Be prepared to troubleshoot any issues that might arise.
