The other concern with live posting is that if someone decides to troll you, it shows up on your website in real time. Automation is great for set-and-forget content, but can result in unwanted malicious reviews etc. For this reason (as @tuanphan suggested) we prefer to post reviews manually to maintain control of would-be trolls. It's easy to create and manage, and gives you the control you should have over your live content.

I'm getting the same error message. No idea why. It's really frustrating. Tried clearing cache, refresh, restart. Seems to be a server-side issue. Anyone find a way to permanently resolve this issue?

Thanks for this great explanation and clever workaround @inside_the_square! I'll experiment with this and report back the community. Like you said, it's not a pure solution due to current build limitations, but it's a snappy way to override defaults.

Hi all. I want my global button hover state to use theme colors, not static colors. This way, the button hover states will match the active theme's unique button colors. Specifically: a button with a LIGHT background, DARK text, and DARK border would reverse on "hover" to a DARK background with a DARK border and LIGHT text. Does anyone know how to replace static hex or RGBA colors with dynamic theme color variables? Here's what I'm hoping for: /* change global button hover state */ .sqs-block-button-element:hover, .sqs-button-element--primary:hover, .sqs-button-element--tertiary:hover { background-color: VARIABLE-THEME-BUTTON-BACKGROUND-COLOR !important; border-color: VARIABLE-THEME-BUTTON_BORDER_COLOR !important; color: VARIABLE-THEME-BUTTON-TEXT-COLOR !important; opacity: 1 !important; /* no hover fade */ Any ideas would be appreciated!

Put another way, Squarespace 7.1 got rid of the ability to target block-specific animations and replaced it with an all-or-none option. Animating everything is fine as a convenience, as long as you can override specific blocks. Unfortunately, you can't. Instead, their current solution is to rebuild your nicely designed Fluid section with a less flexible "Classic" section. Only then can you animate individual blocks. The problem there is, Classic can't do what Fluid can. So your layout suffers and/or looks dated. If we want to animate (or not animate) a specific block, we're stuck with Classic—which is just a nicer name for an old platform on its way out.

Squarespace is at version 7.1. Yet, this seemingly standard functionality is still suspiciously missing from the gui. That's a lot of 747's, my friends. I love this platform for SO many reasons. But candidly, if you want to be considered one of the best site builders out there, not having "Image Library" in the Design sidebar is like leaving the cheese off a cheeseburger. You can do it, but why the heck would you?! Hot tip: We all want/need this feature... like, yesterday. 🙂

It's unfortunate there is no way to add product ordering limits . For those of us with a diverse product line, this is a big problem. Having a limit on certain products protects us from unintended shipping fee woes. Say we offer "free shipping" for orders over a certain amount, like $75. If someone wanted to order a large number of a product with a high shipping cost (like a framed print), they could leave us footing a very big shipping bill that could greatly undermine or even erase our profits. We need a way to cap products like this at a certain number. This will prevent such a scenario from happening. Right now it doesn't exist and we're exposed. Having this option available on each individual product/item in our store (which defaults to "unlimited"), gives us much needed flexibility, security, and piece of mind.

Problem: The Style Editor's "Color" panel options are a mile long, making it hard to find and access specific elements for editing. Solution: Collapse all the sub-categories by default. Then you'll quickly see the one(s) you want to expand and edit — at the same time. Doing this allows us to find what we're looking for much more quickly. Bonus points for adding an "Expand/Collapse All" toggle button at the top of the panel. Also consider creating collapsible Parent categories for related sub-categories (like BLOG: _____, BLOG: _____, etc.). In this example, these can all go in one Parent cat called "BLOG". Expanded, that Parent cat displays its collapsed children. And doing this make's it way easier for us to select and expand (and collapse) we're looking for. An "Expand/Collapse All" button would help at the Parent level as well. Same rules apply. Lastly, this concept could be applied to other Style Editor panels, depending on the need. It's all about speed and avoiding choice overload. 🙂

Any movement on this issue? Hoping to incorporate Society6 products as well.

Hey Simon - This is a major ux flaw and oversight. Really, it should be a clean, simple and intuitive dropdown like every other worthy ecommerce site out there. I'm hoping Squarespace addresses this sooner than later; The user currently has no cues that there are other "hidden" categories there. They don't know what they don't know, and that's not a good thing for sales conversion! To make the Product Detail page sub-nav more palatable for now, I ended up creating some custom CSS to get around (aka band-aid) the problem. My CSS centers, tightens up, and displays ALL visible product sub-categories. I also disabled the sticky factor. This makes no sense to have it floating over an already busy and limited-sized viewport. If anything, SQS should just add a small sticky "back to top" arrow button in bottom right. Then again, they still haven't figured out how to slide up and down the page via anchor tags in 7.1. 😕 I do want to say that I love 7.1 for it's incredible potential. It's still early days with their ecomm platform. The latest update was a big leap forward. But, it still has a ways to go to really compete with the likes of Shopify. The reason I'm not Shopify is because it feels old, hard, and boxed-in. Too many options, loss of plug-in support, tired and inflexible templates, etc. Squarespace sites are nimble by design and always evolving. They feel more 'alive.' Squarespace allows me way more flexibility to create unique and focused pages in any arrangement I choose with speed and relative ease vs Shopify's canned templates that are nice out of the gate but don't evolve well. Sites get tired fast. So it's all about flexibility, ease of use, and timing. Give me curated best-of-breed 3rd party options (and enough of them), not every available option that I have to sift through and hope work out (Shopify). Squarespace, unlike Wix (or Shopify obvi), truly allows me to design and generate content at the speed of thought. Wix is ok for basic stuff. But it's nowhere near as 'deep' as Squarespace. I'm ok with adding some custom CSS while waiting for SQS engineers to add more and better ecommerce features. Because each time they do, this platform shows it has the best of both worlds. Hence why I'm staying with it vs using a boxed-in 'Kitchen Sink' platforms like Shopify or 'more sizzle than steak' platforms like Wix. Had to get that out. For the record I have zero affiliation with Squarespace. I just like the platform a lot. 🙂 Anyway, try pasting the CSS below into your custom CSS. It may be what you're looking for. NOTE: you may want to remove or disable certain styles depending on your layout. If nothing else, it gives you the idea of what can be done to improve the user experience a bit while Squarespace comes up with a way better solution than it has now.

rwp, still no go unfortunately. I fixed the <script> tag. Good catch. I also tried adding your script to site-wide injection, and "Shop" page injection (not at the same time) but neither worked. Here's the bare-bones staging site: https://poodle-dandelion-3fkk.squarespace.com/shop pswd: interwebs Would appreciate any other thoughts if you have them.

rwp, First off, this is a MUST HAVE. The horizontal Cat scroll is a ux nightmare. I tried exactly what you laid out. Tested on mobile. Unfortunately, no effect. - Added Jquery to global header - Added your JS script to global header To be clear, I am supposed to put the Jquery in the header code injection area, correct? And same with your script? I made sure to add <script>and</script> tags See attached screenshot to confirm. Any further guidance would be very much appreciated.

Or Squarespace engineers could just... you know... make it work like every other site on the internet. Just a thought vs resorting to obtuse or temporary workarounds like JS injections. Same boat here. Want it. Need it. Waiting patiently for it.
