@Matt This is a complete disaster. The old sites are incompatible with the new Relume, resulting in the loss of all variables. This causes persistent "error" messages, and any attempts to reset just revert all my pages. I’m not sure what went wrong; I’m sure the new version is great, but for anyone working with the old elements, this is a major issue. Essentially, it makes Webflow nearly useless, and additionally, Relume is ineffective now too. This issue needs urgent attention.
There is a solution, though it is quite inconvenient.
Begin by loading the project in Webflow as you normally would. When the error appears, press and hold "Option" (on Mac) while clicking on Reset. Prior to this, ensure you have another browser window open displaying the same site in "Build" mode. This means one tab needs to be in "Design" mode while the other is in "Build" mode. Conduct the resets, then switch to the "Build Mode" to verify if any issues have occurred. If problems arise, return to "Design Mode" to revert the changes.
Using this method, you can avoid restoring a backup. It's regrettable that we must resort to this process, but it serves as a temporary workaround until the issue is resolved.
Found another issue that's related to it. Now headings have two separate classes like heading-style-h6 and "Bold Text" that wasn't there before. It used to be on a single class.
@Michael Riga I definitely understand your frustrations. We definitely could have done a better job of communicating a few key aspects.
What you've experienced sounds like a bug though because it certainly wasn't our intention to be blowing up existing projects. Is there any way you can shed more light into what you mean by "reset"? From my experience, the webflow app should have prevented you from importing anything, and certainly should not have deleted variables or anything of the sort to an existing project.
I do know that about an hour ago we had a new release of the webflow app - I am not 100% sure what bugs/fixes were in that update though unfortunately, but maybe this was related?
As for the heading classes, I'll take a look at that and report that to the team as well.
Apologies for the delay here - I needed to run my weekly QA session and I wanted to be across any known bugs prior to responding so that if I could reproduce the issue you were having, i would have the proper documentation to report it to engineering - but again, I was not able to reproduce this experience and I'd really like to dive into how this happened for you.
Hey @Matt
Here's what happened: I copied from Relume to Webflow (Cmd C Cmd V) like I usually do. When I tried to change the background color of a section, I encountered a red error stating that the variable was not found. Upon hitting reset, my page refreshed and all my content disappeared; then it redirected me to the home page where the same issue occurred. It seems that the reset reverted to "All Body," affecting the entire site and swapping sections completely. For example, in the hero section, I have a left side and a right side (with an image placeholder), similar to the standard About page. However, on some pages, there's a background image with a text overlay, and when this issue happened, it redirected me to my home page and wiped everything out.
The only option I had was to restore a backup. None of this occurred through the Webflow app; it was all done through standard copy and paste, which makes me hesitant about working on a full page when classes aren't writing correctly.
I did notice in the Webflow app that "Class Sync" was set to on by default, which is usually not the case. I'm unsure if that's the cause of the problem, but whenever I paste from Relume, I face the same error. I end up having to manually reset and check it in build mode on another tab due to this issue.
okay, very strange. But what does "hitting reset" mean exactly? Like you just did cmd + z or you did something else or? And this reset was done in Webflow?
To fix for the missing variables, you would just simply change your site builder webflow export settings, there's more on all of this here:
https://www.relume.io/resources/faqs/why-can-i-not-use-the-webflow-app-with-my-style-guide-version
But more specifically, on the Updating Existing Projects doc.
I don't have that option it seems. That would actually solve everything The second shot is what I have. I have it in red what i am missing
When I hit reset, it does one of two things. Either removes and refreshes the whole site, or just resets that back to non variable. The issue with that requires a bandaid with build mode to test and then cmd z if the error changes anything
That's what Reset shows up. When I click on that it means all the Body (All Pages) will basically be deleted and pushed to a new class
Issue fixed - Ok the pref loaded up that was the issue changed over the older one now works with no issue. I'd have to do that going forward for the old sites and then change over for the new sites.
@Michael Riga okay yeah that's insane. I'll take a look at this but that's feeling more and more like some sort of webflow bug because I dont see how hitting reset would reset the entire site or the content or anything other than the variable.
It could be @Matt there are a lot of Webflow bugs that have been spawning over the last few days.
