    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from artofjefferson in Is it possible to have 2 blog pages with different Content Display settings?   
    This is a styles option for single column blog posts layout in blog page section/edit/format. 
    Any change to syles, no matter how you got to that menu, from the main config menu, or from a blog landing page,  changes the whole site.

    I apologize.  I did not read your comments closely enough.
    You wrote that links opened in a new window are classified as Direct, and therefore would not show the referral website.  I checked the ads on Nextdoor, and they do open in a new tab on the browser.
    I have added UTM parameters to the Submit button on our ad, and will check Squarespace Analytics to see whether that works for our purpose.
    Thank you.

    What is your site address? We might be able to spot something by looking at it.

    It's simple enough, purchase your new domain through Squarspace, and make it your primary one, and leave your existing domain as is. 
    Using multiple domains connected to the same site.

    The first thing I noted is that the domain is not connected to the site, resulting in the built-in domain (impala-pigeon-nyda.squarespace.com) showing instead. You may want to read Connecting a third-party domain to your Squarespace site.

    Traffic to your old domain will not automatically move to your new one, not through the search engines anyway unless you keep it pointed to your site. You can make your new domain the primary domain and it will show up in the browser bar of anyone who visits, the old one will change to the new one,  and the search engines will eventually catch on to the change. At some point in the future, you should be able to deactivate the original domain if you find that desirable.

    Paul is right. In my opinion, his explanation is a good reason why 7.1 doesn't have FE operating for Blog pages.

    Fluid Engine can be great for innovative layouts for, but a classic layout like this, you are better off using a “Classic” section instead. All your text can then be placed in a single Text Box, giving consistency for all spacing, and your Image Boxes can be dragged into place. You’ll find “Classic” sections at the very bottom of the list when adding a new section.

    derricksrandomviews reacted to WCS in Trying to change arrows on summary carousel. Help?   
    @matt1234 That guide is good but it does have an error in it and the arrows may overlap the text, making the testimonial not fully legible. 
    Here's a revised version to try:
    section[data-section-id="65d8dcbcf210d40479a7b669"] {
    .sqs-block-summary-v2 .summary-block-setting-design-carousel .summary-carousel-pager {   
      float: none;   
      width: 120%;   
      position: absolute;   
      bottom: 42%;   
      left: 50%;   
      -webkit-transform: translate(-50%,-35%); 
      -ms-transform: translate(-50%,-35%);
      transform: translate(-50%,-35%);   
      -webkit-box-pack: justify;       
      -ms-flex-pack: justify;           
      justify-content: space-between; 
      }
    .sqs-gallery-design-carousel .sqs-gallery-controls .next::before {
    background-color: #f5c06a;   
    color: #000000;   
    padding: 20px; 
    border-radius:50%;
    content: '▶' !important
     } 
    .sqs-gallery-design-carousel .sqs-gallery-controls .previous::before {
    background-color: #f5c06a;   
    color: #000000;   
    padding: 20px;
    border-radius:50%;
    content: '◀' !important
     }
    }
    Customize it for your site:
    You can add #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1693334706601_32976{ to the beginning and } at the end if you want to apply it only to the slider on your homepage. 
    You can modify the arrows by copy/pasting a new unicode character and replacing the symbols (◀ and ▶) in the below code. Here's a link to a list of viable options: https://insidethesquare.co/unicode-for-squarespace
    content: '▶' !important

    derricksrandomviews reacted to CarinaSpencer in When filtering blog posts by category, how can I make the filtered results clearer?   
    Wow, that is mind-bending and such a creative way to work with different features! I am going to play around with this. Thank you so much for your super detailed reply!

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from CarinaSpencer in When filtering blog posts by category, how can I make the filtered results clearer?   
    I use two blog pages. Blog Number One is where all my posts are, and they each have a group category or categories,  depending on the number of items I want on a page, more than 30 require more than one category. For example: I might give Soul Stories to the first 30 items and Soul Stories 2 to the next 30. This is my main blog page and goes into the unlinked section of my site. All my blog posts reside there. 
    The second blog page is in the main section of my site and contains only summary blocks in the posts. There can be multiple summary blocks in each post and they are filtered using the categories as mentioned above to pull content. Each post in the second blog (remember this is my front-facing blog page) has a category and the archive block pulls content from the second blog page, and the subject in the menu matches the category that I gave the post with the blocks containing those posts from blog number one. So the steps are as follows:
    Create a Second blog page 
    Give all your posts in blog number 1 a category grouped by subject. If that subject has more than 30 posts then give the ones above 30 an xxx 2 category. 
    Create posts in blog number 2 with a post for each subject. In that post put summary blocks pulling content from blog number one filtered by the categories you gave those posts in blog number 1. Remember if over 30 items you will need more than one block per 30 and you will use two categories xxx 2 etc, 
    Give the posts in blog number 2 the category that will appear word for word in your archive block. 
    Create the archive block pulling content from blog number 2 grouped by category. I use the drop-down layout. 
    Put blog number 1 in the unlinked section of your site,
    Put blog number 2 in the linked section and give it the nav title you wish to show up on the menu bar. 
    Also, you can create a post in the second blog for featured posts from blog 1. I put this at the top of the page.  You create a block pulling content from blog 1 and do not filter by category, filter by featured posts and then when you toggle that option in a post from blog 1 it will show up in this post. It is a good way to get your newest post to be at the top and also a way to feature an older blog that you think deserves some new attention. 
    The blogs cannot share the same nav name, page name, or URL slug. 
    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to come back here and ask me.

    Yes use summary blocks in their own blog separated by category which is the title of the post. Like mine here: Blog posts by category/subject with menu

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from Collaborada in Broken Link with Squarespace template name but this page doesn't exist anywhere among my pages   
    I wouldn't worry about it. The search engines will drop it eventually, there is nothing you can do right now since the link doesn't go anywhere. Renaming a page is one thing but the main domain change which happens with websites a lot confuses the engines for a while. I would be more concerned about my main domain and you can check for any broken link here:

    derricksrandomviews reacted to paul2009 in Vertical site title in WELLS   
    You should be able to do this with some Custom CSS. Note that, depending on the length and height of your site title, in addition to rotating it, you may need to add some margin to the top to push it further down the page.
    Here's an example. If you need more help, please provide a working link to your site 🙂.
    @media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {   #logo {   transform: rotate(-90deg);     margin-top: 60px;   } } Did this help? Please give feedback by clicking an icon below  ⬇️

    It can reside in the same account but it would need to be activated separately, however, you can request more time (and you will get it) by using the link in the expiration warning email that comes from Squarespace.
