Webflow Sitebuilder Import: Common Issues Encountered

At a glance
The community member is experiencing issues with the Webflow site builder, specifically with class sync and spacing strategy. The class sync doesn't seem to work, resulting in multiple button classes when importing a website. Additionally, the spacing strategy appears to be stuck on wrappers, even when blocks are selected. The community member asks if these are common issues. In the comments, another community member responds that these issues are not necessarily common, but they have experienced similar problems with the Webflow app. For the duplicate classes, the community member suggests removing all duplicate classes from the entire project before attempting to paste in a component. If the class sync still fails, they recommend turning it off, saving, refreshing, turning it back on, saving, and refreshing again before trying to paste the component. The community member also provides a link to a resource with additional tips for fixing and preventing class duplication in Webflow.

Also for the webflow sitebuilder import, i have ran into a couple of issues

  • Class sync doesn’t seem to work. I get 9 different button classes when I import a website
  • Spacing strategy seems to be stuck on wrappers, even though I have blocks selected on my whole account

Are these common issues?

I would not say common however I know we've had some issues with spacing strategy and the webflow app.

For duplicate classes - you will need to rid your entire project of all duplicate classes before you'll have any chance of not having them show up again, once you've done that, I would paste in a component and if it fails to sync, I would turn class sync off, save, refresh, turn it back on, save, refresh and try pasting again.

There are some other tips here:

Class sync is extremely complicated, and sometimes the wrong scenario happens where it doesn't sync properly but if caught quickly and following the steps highlighted in that doc above, you should be able to resolve quickly and move on with pasting more components without issue again.
