I would like an image download to start in the background when a button is clicked, as is the norm. Instead squarespace opens a page, requiring an additional right-click step. I can't seem to find how to prevent this.
 
When using a link, you have the option of page, file,  etc. so I don't understand why when choosing a file, it opens a page regardless.
 
I am using a code block, but this seems to be the case whatever method i use, such as buttons, forms etc.
my current html code is:
<a href="/s/DM042_Wallpaper_Phone.jpg" download="jonpxl_wallpaper_DM042_phone" target="_blank" class="button">WALLPAPER</a>  

@bangank36 yes, to trigger a download. Unfortunately I can't get my site to do that, whether that's through squarespace tools such as buttons etc, or via html

Hi @bangank36 I was wondering if you had a spare moment to help me with this hopefully very small issue? thank you.

Hi, is anyone able to help on this problem? It seems like it would be an easy fix and quite a common question.

Is there any news on when can we expect the new branding of Twitter to X to filter to our sites? Specifically for the icons to be amended. And in future, would we need to manually update the links? I believe the new branding guidelines is now publicly available.
Also hopefully Threads can be added soon.

@sydacthis works in practice, but breaks down pretty quickly once you have variety in where your products are shipped from/to. Squarespace could even work to improve this "hack" by not having the range be required to be zero to infinity. One of the main issues, is in not being able to hide cheaper shipping options. It turns into a maths mind mess with plenty of scope for errors. And just imagine the headache when there are changes to your shipping and distribution points.
Personally, I'm going to see how this goes, if sales are good, I'll seriously consider migrating to shopify

Thanks very much, yes that did the trick 🙂
 
For others that stumble here, the solution for this specific text replacement case was quite simple:
.sqs-lightbox-meta-trigger {
  visibility: hidden;
}
.sqs-lightbox-meta-trigger:after {
  content:'ⓘ';
  visibility: visible;
}

+1  The fact that SQSP doesn't offer product-specific shipping is a HUGE miss. Clearly there are many customers that need this. From a development standpoint, it really shouldn't be that complicated to implement. 
In my case, I'm building a store that sells alcohol and is legally only allowed to ship to certain states. However, they also sell merch that they are allowed to ship to the entire nation. Because Squarespace doesn't offer the ability to link products to specific shipping options/restrictions, the company has to choose to either not sell merch (so the shipping can be restricted to certain states) or sell both merch/alcohol, but cancel any order where a customer tries to have alcohol shipped to an illegal state. Both options are awful and would be completely avoidable if Squarespace offered the ability to make shipping options product specific.

Seems totally ridiculous not to have it per product. I'm losing money on postage and some clients are rightly feeling over-charged on very small items. Someone orders a hoody, I lose money. Someone orders a sticker, they pay more than the sticker price in postage! I'd leave Squarespace for this. Just need to pluck up the energy to re-build a site elsewhere :((

there's really nothing "advanced" in SQSP's "advanced shipping". you can't even set a shipping rate per product. Shopify and Ecwid are a much better option for advanced shipping.

After 6 months with Squarespace, I feeling the limitations too and always continually have to find workarounds which are very not user friendly to the customer.

Just adding another comment to this thread because this issue is so frustrating. Ive just had to reconfigure all of my postage options because I want to sell Christmas cards which are a much lighter weight than my usual products so the postage is completely different. Don't even get me started on adding different TYPES of postage. 
This issue is so annoying and basic. Sort it out Squarespace.

@paul2009I was wondering if you had managed to access the site and have a look?

@tuanphan Thanks very much. I see what you have done there, and can understand why you say it is a temporary fix. It might be enough for now. thank you

This has been a problem for me for close to 10 years.  It would take nothing to add in the "pricing and variants" tab a little box to specify the item has a custom shipping cost and then to specify that cost.  A first year programmer could add this in 5 minutes.  The Squarespace community has been complaining about this for years, clearly Squarespace doesn't care.

My "solution" was to have a "request shipping quote" option for products that I knew had different shipping requirements. It's that or deal with customers clicking on the cheapest shipping regardless of the product, which of course isn't appropriate.
It's really poor though. Having to explain in my FAQ ... "because of the limitations of my website shipping options" is pretty unprofessional. It requires an extra step, where I have to be involved in each order of a particular category product.
The rest of my items I designated a weight too, 0-9, 10-99, 100-999 etc. to cover the costs so someone can buy multiples of an item. Essentially using weights as tagging.
Not being able to hide certain shipping options is a bummer. Let's hope they upgrade the shipping issues eventually.

Ughhh! So frustrating because I just added a bunch of Printful items to my shop and I ended up putting all the shipping weights/dimensions in manually so it would calculate the right amount of shipping...but since I also offer local pick up for customers near me, it puts that option on every order and if someone selects that when ordering any of the Printful print-on-demand items, it won't charge them shipping OR send the order to Printful to print it. What a pain in the ass! Squarespace, get it together and offer per-item shipping options NOW!

I need this too, and ironically I need it largely because I am using a print on demand provider (Printful) that Squarespace recommend.
Here's my situation. I have three kids of products:
1.) Stickers - Could use either per-product flat rate shipping or USPS calculated First Class (neither is offered)
2.) Printful Products - Need per-product flat rate shipping (not offered)
3.) Everything Else - Need per-product calculated USPS Priority Mail shipping

This could be easily solved by having different classes of shipping each tied to a specific set of products. Without it, my options are to over-charge for shipping, under-charge for shipping, or inflate prices astronomically to offer "free shipping".
I recently moved my other shop to Shopify, and it was so easy to set up as I needed. There's no excuse for Squarspace to be so far behind, especially on the "Advanced" Commerce plan with its "Advanced" shipping.

I am also struggling with this. It's a shame that this issue can become customer facing.
 
As far as I can tell there is an option:
Use weights as a way to tag items, use large ranges, and assign products to a range, so that multiple items can be bought without issue. e.g 0kg baseline, 0.1 - 10kg (all items listed as 1kg), so even if they buy 10 products just in that range the shipping wont be effected unless they have a product with the next tag range (10kg-100kg) etc. The downside to this is that the range has to be from zero to infinity, meaning all products will fall into a shipping category, which therefore means all your products have to ship to the listed regions, i.e you can't have some items be globally available and others only regional So that means having to have ridiculous shipping costs listed for regions that you'd actually prefer to not ship to specifically because shipping is so high Not ideal at all, and requires a lot of work/calculations for shipping to every nation, and that will perhaps never be used. Or you use an insane value to deter, which just looks like an unprofessional website bug

@LJSpace
 
Came up with a solution that will keep your website quick, if you haven't gone for the plugin:
 
.sqs-gallery-block-grid.sqs-gallery-thumbnails-per-row-5 .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide:nth-child(n+4):nth-child(-n+5) { display:none; } .sqs-gallery-block-grid.sqs-gallery-thumbnails-per-row-5 .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide { width: (100%/3) !important; }  
This will turn a 5 per row gallery into a 3 per row and hid the last two.
Adjust the values according to your needs.
 
The key is to reference the block row type that you've made. in this case a 5 row. If you want to increase it up from 5, you need to make a new one. So it's best to make a block with the maximum you think, as the code can shrink the row value, but not grow
 
I had to come up with something different as the previous solutions weren't applicable to "Related Products".
Hopefully this is a more elegant solution that can be adapted to various rows/summaries/galleries.

@JonJonJon that's the extension I use and recommend. 

Hi All,
I am selling prints, and would like to disable the auto-zoom on each individual product so the buyer can see a bigger scale rendition of the print they are buying. My template does not have an option to disable autozoom on images. I am using Lange.
I was able to make this happen on the main products page using the code below:
 
.ProductList-outerImageWrapper { position: static; padding-bottom: 0px !important; } .ProductList-innerImageWrapper { position: static; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .ProductList-image { width: 100% !important; height: auto !important; top: 0px !important; position: static !important; Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough to get that to apply to the individual product. 
Here is a link to a good example of an image that is being cropped: https://www.fantasiummedia.com/prints/stars-over-lake-atitlan
Offering a print of your choice at cost for anyone that can help!

Saved your question. Will check tomorrow.
