Webflow export to Wordpress (from scratch)

Great! Thanks so much. I really appreciate all that you have shared to help guide us through this process.

hey pingram3541!
thank you so so much for the second video! this finally helped me get my javascript interactions working on wordpress!

everything works now but on every page load i get an error message saying “Oops! This page has improperly configured forms. Please contact your website administrator to fix this issue.”… The message only appears when incuding jQuery above the webflow.js script. If I take that out, it disappears.

Can you explain to me where this error is coming from? I don’ find anything…

Thanks again! I really appreciate your time.

You can private message me a link to your site so I can take a look. Sounds like another plugin conflict maybe? Did you try disabling all unnecessary plugins first to see if the problem goes away? Oh and where are you seeing this message, directly in the front end page content or in the js console?

The origination of the alert ts found in webflow.js on line 575. I don’t recall where exactly it’s located but when you have a webflow webform that is now exported on a different domain, there is some fine tuning I believe in the code that needs to include new form configuration. I found this that might help http://forum.webflow.com/t/oops-popup-after-site-export-form-slider-issues/3573

In the mean time, you could edit line 575 and simply disable the alert by putting two forward slashes at the beginning of the line (//alert…). Then re-enable without the slashes later when you’re ready to tackle the form config (alert…). Keep in mind, this also means as of current, when someone completes your webform, it will also most likely generate an arror/alert and very likely not work.

Getting ready to tackle this for the first time. After we move Webflow into Wordpress is it difficult to update background images or content?

As long as you know some basic html css it isn’t very difficult. There are a word full of wysiwyg plugins such as designmodo’s qards, visual composer, beaver builder among others. Best of luck!

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. Guess it makes sense that integration of plugins would be a way to go.

This is outdated. As of a few weeks ago Webflow updated to JQuery 2.2.0, whereas Wordpress remains with JQuery 1.11.3 with their current release of 4.4.2.

Obviously, with plugins and WP dependent on v1.11.3 and Webflow dependent on 2.2.0 there’s bound to be issues with replacing one version for the other, either way.

Also, Webflow changed the way it begins its variables, so adding var $ = window.jQuery doesn’t fix conflicts as stated.

I’m not sure what the solution is, but maybe someone else will have an answer.

Hi,

I write here to thank you for this tutorial you have shared. I have watched about 1/3 of it, with a bit difficult to see the php source code on my 11" laptop, so will continue at home with bigger screen :smiley: however, can transfer some parts of my webflow site to wordpress website. Thx a lot!

As @Drunkard100 points out, the webflow jquery version is 2+ while the latest WordPress version (currently 4.5) is 1.12.2.

One approach may be to replace the core WP version by simply using the wp_dequeue_script( ‘jquery’ ) method via your theme or child-theme’s functions.php and then immediately add wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’, ‘path-to-your-webflow-version’ ).
