Base Tag ​

The Base Tag setting allows you to override the HTML <base> element in your WeWeb application. This is an advanced feature primarily used when self-hosting your application on a specific subpath.

WARNING

Changing the base tag is an advanced feature that should only be used if you fully understand what you're doing. Incorrect configuration can break your application's routing, assets, and links.

Accessing base tag settings ​

To configure the base tag:

  1. Click on the Settings icon (cog icon) in the Interface section sidebar
  2. Under the Advanced section, click Base Tag

This opens the base tag configuration modal.

Override base tag in WeWeb

What is a base tag? ​

The HTML <base> element specifies the base URL for all relative URLs in a document. It affects how browsers resolve paths for:

  • Links (<a href="...">)
  • Images (<img src="...">)
  • Scripts (<script src="...">)
  • Stylesheets (<link href="...">)
  • Forms (<form action="...">)

By default, WeWeb sets the base tag to /, meaning all relative URLs are resolved from the root of your domain.
