    Here is the anchor link to the guide for any downgrade from commerce or business to a personal plan. https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205826008-Changing-your-website-billing-plan#toc-downgrading-your-plan

    In order to give access to the editing functions you want them to have, you would have to invite them to be admins, which gives access to every configuration setting and every page on your site with the exception of ownership transfer options. I think it would be better for you to start a two-week trial of the same template you started with, invite your volunteer to be an admin, and let him work with it. He would need to set up his own free account once the invite is sent out and the trial site would need a sitewide password to access it. You could create a new trial at the end of the two-week period if necessary. Many of us here do the same thing in order to find fixes for problems and try design change requests posted here on the forum.

    Exactly where are you trying to add this block? You are missing more blocks than just the image gallery which is currently available in 7.1 for pages, portfolio project pages, and blog posts. The gallery block was not originally in 7.1 but was added back some time ago. You should have it.

    A gallery block grid layout allows for an image to be opened in a lightbox and then the viewer can click to see the next image. There is no autoplay option because it is not an actual slideshow layout. Think of it more as a manual slideshow, here is an example that looks the same for a gallery block in 7.0 or 7.1 For you to use it with a 7.1 site add a gallery block to a blank section on its own page, in or in a blank section of a project page. You should be able to add a text block on either side of a gallery block. https://myrandomviews.com/views-images#/flowersinmyyard/

    A form is its own element, and you can't just create one in a text block and add a submit button. You can customize a form using CSS. https://www.katescott.co/blog/customize-squarespace-form-css

    Moving back to 7.0 is not a viable option, since 7.0 is very restrictive and outdated. 7.0 is still used and supported by Squarespace and there are many good-looking, classic, and unique templates, with certain styles, that the 7.1 templates, as good as they are, cannot totally duplicate. If you are referring to the 7.0 configuration options, I would not say they are outdated, there are some advanced 7.1 settings but some 7.0 options 7.1 does not have that are still wanted as this thread states. For many website designers, especially new ones, 7.1 is easier to use due in part to the location of fonts, color palettes, and other site styles. Fluid Engine design still has a few issues but it looks very promising and will get better over time. As far as portfolio/ project pages, I do not expect any major change there, once you create one, it is in a sense one page that can be expanded and reduced by adding or deleting project layouts, but you cannot disable or move a project out of the portfolio, it is more like a block than an actual page or like a blog page you cannot move a single blog post out of the blog into the unlinked section of your site.

    Just post the whole post as an excerpt in the post options/setting, put the post in its own summary block, and turn off the read more button for that block. This is also a way to have a two-column blog with whole posts side by side.

    Try this redirect /tour -> /schedule-tour-inquiry-form 301

    Your Ishimoto site appears to be performing fine now. Nice design by the way.

    That explains it for sure.

    Go to the home page, then in configuration click site styles, and click your header, the options for the various parts of the header including navigation, title, and subtitle will show up in the panel on the left when you click a part, not on the page itself. If you are adding a logo instead of a title that is done in the design, the first setting is logo and title. You should also get a small black panel that says edit title when hovering over the title if you have one and a panel that says edit navigation when hovering over the bar. This is the way 7.0 usually works but could be a bit different depending on the template you want to edit. It would be helpful to let us know which one you are editing.

    The easiest way is to go into the settings of your business website, go to permissions, then invite a contributor, fill out the form, and make sure you send the invite to your business name with a unique email address and all that. Toggle the admin button on and then send it. When you respond to the mail then you create your second sign-on and name. That name will be the one that responds to comments.
  13. derricksrandomviews
    The easiest way to do that is to create a new page, put your revision message on that, and make it your home page. Also, you can drag all the other pages to the unlinked section of your site and they will not appear on the Nav bar of the new page, which should also be in the unlinked section of your site. If you have a business plan you can put this in the code injection header of the new page and remove the header and footer, and there will be no nav bar to worry about. If you don't have a business plan then remove the style and put the code in custom CSS but this will remove the header and footer for all your pages. <style> .header, #footer-sections { display:none !important; } </style>

    What template are you using? I am not seeing this in any of my Brine template sites which have all three navigation panels. The + is there.
  15. derricksrandomviews
    7.1 Not through Fluid Engine, on a page. You can add a text block at the bottom of an image, but that is not the same thing, or you can opt out of FE and set your image block as a stack, then you can add a caption at the bottom of the image. There are other text positioning options as well when using the classic editor. This editor works by default in a blog post. Blogs do not support FE.

    Only with two main SS accounts. You could create a second one. Invite that account to become an admin of the business site this needs an email address for the second account. Once done that account has the same privileges as the original one. This does not change payment info for any site. Either account can reply to comments but the reply name will follow the account name.

    Audio files are added to blog pages like any other page as a block, but the add mode is a bit different. Edit a blog page and hover over a text bock or in a blog section until the + sign shows up at the top and bottom of a blue box. This is an insert point Click on one of those signs and add a block panel will appear and an audio block will be one of the choices

    They are basically placeholders for demo purposes only. They are not actually image files to be used. Usable files are stock files in the media library.

    The quickest route to a solution is to post the URL address of the site with a password if needed. The coders here can then inspect it and if they see some code or other issue causing this they will let you know what the fix is.

    If you only have one category and one blog entry with that category it will be the only one that shows up. You can test the positioning and display of the block by choosing to filter by month. And yes you can modify the search: https://insidethesquare.co/squarespace-tutorials/search-results

    Can you explain what you mean by delay? If you are referring to the delay between images in a slideshow, you can set that yourself.

    This code snippet works in custom CSS and doesn't require a business plan, all plans can use it. Just copy and paste it into design/ custom CSS window. I don't know why in some templates the archive block pushes content down the page, It never has in Avenue. It has something to do with page sections I suspect. section.Intro { overflow: visible; } ul.archive-group-list { position: absolute; top: 60px; background-color: #faf9f7; z-index: 9999; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%); }

    Adjust the block with CSS code as explained very well right here: https://insidethesquare.co/squarespace-tutorials/video-block-size

    Disabling the right click will not prevent dragging and dropping images to the desktop. That takes another piece of code with its own set of undesirable results. The best preventative action to prevent stealing your images is to watermark them (which can be removed without too much trouble with good editing software. ) Just making them smaller is not foolproof. I can take a 365 kb thumbnail and enlarge it (as big as I want) with an image resizer program that I use, making it totally acceptable to online printing services. So in essence, you only discourage, as Paul said, honest visitors from having a full viewing experience on your site, those who want your images bad enough and have the know-how can still be able to get them and use them how they want. This is the best guide to discouraging image theft that I have read. Notice I said discourage theft not totally prevent it. https://www.pixsy.com/academy/image-owner/protect-images-online/

    You can't in reality back up a Squarespace site, Squarespace is a closed system, but you can duplicate most of it. That feature is on your account page under the three dots on the right. The domain stays the same. Domains can be changed, however, or added to the duplicated site as stated here: Duplicate a site
