Troubleshooting Webflow Sitemap Imports: Tips and Solutions

Hisanori S. · 2024-09-24T08:20:02.800Z

Hi everyone, relume is a fantastic tool, but I'm running into an issue that I can't seem to resolve. When I try to import my sitemap into Webflow, it frequently gets stuck on the loading screen. It doesn't throw an error or finish; it just keeps loading indefinitely, even after waiting for 15 minutes or more. Importing page by page does work, but it's a bit tedious because I need to first create each page within Webflow before importing the content into it. I have had the sitemap import complete successfully on rare occasions, but I can't pinpoint what conditions lead to those successes. Does anyone have any advice on how to ensure a successful sitemap import?

Hisanori S. have you started your webflow project using our style guide? Can you provide a read-only link?

Hi Matt J. Thanks for your reply. I followed the export flow for Webflow as outlined on Relume's website. Here's the read-only link: [https://preview.webflow.com/preview/import-sample?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=d[…]e&preview=526b516e259d0cd1ed97613306cccb86&workflow=preview] I usually name my Relume and Webflow projects in Japanese, but I tried renaming them in English just in case, however, the issue persisted. I've also noticed that when I try to import from Relume to Webflow, a directory named "Untitled" is created in Webflow.(There are three "Untitled" directories in the sample, as I tried importing three times. One directory is created per import.)

Hisanori S. I've passed this onto engineering - I hope we'll have a resolution soon but I do not know how quickly we would have it. I'll be sure to give you an update once I have one - apologies for the issues here.

Matt J., Thank you for looking into this! I'll import each page individually until there's a resolution. I appreciate the update!

Hisanori S. unfortunately it looks like the most immediate fix is to have the page names within the Relume Site Builder be in English. We are working on a fix but it could take a couple of days between coding, testing, and the webflow app review process.

Matt J. I see, the page names within the Relume Site Builder need to be in English for now. I didn't realize that! It would be more convenient for me to use Japanese page names when explaining things to my client, but I understand that's not possible at the moment. I will use English page names for the time being. Thank you so much for identifying the cause of the issue!
