Webflow – Use images or icons instead of source links

After successfully transferring data from ClonewebX to Webflow, you will discover that both the Image and Icon widgets/elements still maintain their source URL links intact.

The images and icons in the Webflow front-end are not displaying properly and appear to be broken.

  • Situation 1: You can manually replace these images/icons with your own.
  • Situation 2: To use these images/icons without relying on the source domains, you need to upload them to your server.

Our solution provides a comprehensive guide for achieving this.
