    Hi @JanaK - congrats on the new website. Changing domains and maintaining search rankings/visibility is definitely tricky so I understand the confusion.

    Based on the info you shared and taking a quick look at the two sites, I think linking the old domain to the new site as a secondary domain is smart. You have a decent number of backlinks out there on the internet pointing to meetra-garmany.com URLs, and the best way to keep that traffic (and nudge Google to update the rankings) is to link meetra-germany.com as a secondary domain and then either ensure there are pages on the new site with the same URL slug as before, OR use the URL mapping tools to set up some 301 redirects.

    There are several other strategies you can pursue here as well, including using Google's "Change of Address" tool to notify the search engine that the website has moved to an entirely new domain. If you'd like, we can get on a call to review some of these steps together - there's a link on this page to book a free consult if you're interested.

    Hope that helps,

    Ed

    Hi Ed, 

    Thanks for the quick reply and for taking the time to look at my site. This has helped me a lot! I guess I'll move the domain then and make it a secondary domain. So is there a way to set-up 301 redirects for a secondary domain? 

    I'd be happy to book a consultation and will take a look at it later. 

    Thanks,

  2. Site URL: https://www.meetra-germany.com/

    Hi, 

    Because of a rebranding, I've built a new Squarespace site (www.hallogermany.com) and would now like to redirect my old domain (www.meetra-germany.com) to the new page. Some of the sub-URLs have changed, so I understood it would be best to have a page-level 301 redirect and submit the new sitemap to Google to keep my good ranking for these sub-domains. Now, here is where I'm lost: 

    I've submitted a detailed list for 301 redirects in the URL mapping. Now I need to deactivate the old pages in order to activate all 301 redirects. However, Squarespace requires me to assign a landing page as long as the site is active, meaning at least one of the old pages needs to stay live and will be recognized as the landing page. Now, how can I set-up active page level redirects for the entire site and make sure that none of the old pages show up on Google? 

    Squarespace suggested me to make the old domain my secondary domain. In this case however, I would not be able to submit page-level 301 redirects, meaning I would loose my Google ranking. Is that right? Or did I get this wrong? 

    Do you have any pointers for me on what I got wrong or how this could be solved? 

    I hope my question is understandable and would really appreciate your help on this. I've been stuck with this issue for some time and am unable to find the answer I'm looking for. 

    Big thanks!

  3. Hi, 

    I'm having the same issue on my product pages. On mobile view, the first add-to-cart button looks super narrow and the second one looks normal. When I apply code then it changes both buttons, so the second one turns out too big. Can you help me with changing the size of the first one? I'd like to apply this to all my product pages.

  4. Site URL: https://www.meetra-germany.com/

    Hi, 

    I would like to create a pop-up or announcement that will only be displayed to visitors who landed on my site because of a redirect and originally clicked on another URL that redirects to my website. Squarespace popups do not allow this option. Do you have any suggestions for a smart workaround or a good widget tool that takes into account the visitor's source?

    This is part of a rebranding so there will be a whole sitemap with the original URLs that will redirect to the new domain. 

    Thanks in advance, 

    Jana 

  5. Hi guys,

    I need to build a job board on my squarespace site which advertises jobs from external sites. It's basically a list of links which should be filterable by pre-defined tags and categories. I would like to display it in a similar style like the blog post summaries. 
     
    Main requirements: 
    - Option to add individual categories and tags 
    - Redirect to an external page link when people click on the ad
    - Option to filter the job ads 
    - No item limit
     
    -> I tried using the squarespace blog and the universal filter to build a workaround but it has a 30 items limit and it's also a lot of effort to administrate. I've also checked out the job board plug in by elfsight but unfortunately it doesn't have a filter option and does not allow me to change the button text or category names. 
     
    Do you have a suggestion for a good plug in that I could use? 
  6. Hi everyone, 

    I have managed to make folder links clickable in my desktop navigation bar but am struggling with the mobile view just like so many others. I have understood that folder links cannot be clickable in the mobile nav bar. Do you have any idea for a workaround? My site URL: https://meetra.squarespace.com/

    @tuanphan: Would it for instance be possible to add a menu item in a particular folder in the mobile navigation bar and hide this item when in desktop view? On my page this would mean that after clicking on the folder "Professionals" the first menu item would be sth. like "Overview" and when clicking on it the user would be directed to the page https://meetra.squarespace.com/career (the same page which opens when clicking on the folder in desktop view).

    I have used the following code to make my folder clickable in desktop view: 

    <script>
      (function()
      {window.addEventListener("load", function () {
        var tours = document.querySelector('[href="/career-all"]');
        tours.addEventListener("click", function () {
          window.location = "https://meetra.squarespace.com/career";
        });
      })}
      )();

    Big thanks in advance! This forum has been really helpful so far.
