There doesn't seem to be any way to force desktop view on squarespace sites via the phone or browser itself no matter what method is used.

Site URL: https://www.marleyshouseofsport.com I'm using the Bailard template 7.1. On the mobile version of my site I would like it to appear exactly like the desktop version. (With links along the top of the page and NOT the squarespace mobile menu on the right hand side. (The three lines) Is there a way of doing this with code for the navigation?

What is interesting is if I connect my iPad to my computer and use the "Develop" menu to inspect the code on my ipad side I can now click the login link and it will work as expected on the ipad. Of course this doesn't help clients any but it's interesting that it works at all. When I look deeper into it I can see the following errors are coming up.. but I can't really make sense of any of them. (*See attached pic) Another thing I was wondering is that since the login works fine on desktop computers why can't I just use desktop view on mobile devices.. I figured that should work. Only it doesn't. Hmm. I notice it's still not a true desktop view even when I view the desktop version of the site you still get the squarespace drop down menu on the side for the links (which seems to be connected to the issue). So my question is does anyone know of a mobile browser that will let me view the website as it would be normally seen on desktop (with the links across the top of the page)? If I could do that maybe it would work and I could at least in the interim direct clients to this work around. Anyway, any help or hints would be insanely well received.

There has never really been an adequate solution and member areas definitely does not provide the individual login solution in the specific way our business requires. Sentry was the only solution for us out there that we know of. Thankfully our accounts are free and do not hold personal information and we have other methods setup on the backend that web portal information that are well protected and controlled from elsewhere. It's maybe not the best approach but without access to better tech people it's the best we can do. I wasn't aware the sentry code on each "protected" page was so thin though so that is good to know. They do claim very good security and to be able to protect any page with their code injected into it so if what you're saying is true they have been more than a little dishonest with that. I have reached out to sentry who are looking into their code for a fix but I'm sure this will take a really long time. From others I have spoken with it seems the menu item code on mobile is now different from the desktop code of the same area which may have been a change Squarespace made to their template code that is breaking the sentry code. Like you say though I think Sentry may be the only ones who can (or should) help here. I don't know if even hiring someone to look into it is going to do any good.

Site URL: https://www.marleyshouseofsport.com We run our logins via sentry login on our site which was easy to setup by copying their code onto a page and injecting code into the pages we wish to protect within accounts etc. https://www.sentrylogin.com/sentry/index_inner.asp They are amazing for this purpose and I really recommend them. Anyway this has been running 100% fine for the last year until yesterday morning when suddenly clients have found themselves unable to login. What is strange is on a desktop computer you are still able to login fine however when it comes to mobile or device like an ipad clicking the login button won't cause the pop up box to appear it just does nothing at all. We checked with Sentry and they say they have changed nothing in the code their end. Nothing has changed on the site itself so that leaves only Squarespace. All I can think is Squarespace has changed some of their code or something. If you use a mobile device vs desktop to go to www.marleyshouseofsport.com and click login on both you'll see what I mean. Squarespace isn't responding to my questions on this and I really have no idea what else to try. If anyone knows of anything that might cause something like this that I'm not thinking of please please let me know. It's caused an absolute nightmare.

Bit of a legend around these parts Tuan was nice enough to solve this privately for me. Just in case anyone else is struggling with this adding "important" to the code in the below way solved the issue. (add !important to 2 attribute in the code) .sqs-block-button-element--large { background-color: transparent!important; background-image: url('https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60bd7f06fc7c64423c37fcc3/t/61be8daef06d6905b236e09a/1639878062359/toppng.com-black-button-icon-501x129.png') !important; background-size: contain!important; background-position: center !important; background-repeat: no-repeat!important } .sqs-block-button-element--large:hover { opacity: 1!important; filter: drop-shadow(4px 4px 4px #222); }

Great to know it's not just me going crazy. I have it in the CSS code to change all "large" buttons to my image like so: .sqs-block-button-element--large{background-color:transparent!important; background-image:url('https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60bd7f06fc7c64423c37fcc3/t/61be8daef06d6905b236e09a/1639878062359/toppng.com-black-button-icon-501x129.png'); background-size:contain!important; background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat!important}.sqs-block-button-element--large:hover{opacity:1!important;filter:drop-shadow(4px 4px 4px #222)} So what would I need to now change it to for it to work as it once did?

Site URL: http://www.marleyshouseofsport.com My large buttons on my site are now coming up as invisible. Has squarespace recently changed the naming conventions in the code? I can't account for this error/change. I haven't changed anything my end. When I change the actual image in the code it does nothing either. Any help would be appreciated - D

Site URL: https://www.marleyshouseofsport.com So my site is built to have members login to TWO separate pages which provide them with information unique to them. Member Areas was completely useless for my purposes and I could see that early on so I had to find another solution that allowed me to have my clients log in to my website and view their account info etc. Enter Sentry Login. A brilliant solution to everything. I've been using them for ages without a hitch. This was fine in the beginning when I never expected more members maybe ever than say 100 max. But now unexpectedly as the business has grown I find myself with 1000 members who want to come aboard and want accounts but I am unable to set up accounts for that many people so I've had to turn away huge amounts of members or at least put them on hold. The squarespace 1000 page limit has hit me at about 300 members (with 2 pages each). Now these two pages have most of my unique data piped in through to them via referenced cells from googlesheets in iframes on the backend. Theres a case where I could do this for ALL data instead of some but it would take some kind of coding sorcery to then use the same shared shell pages when people log in and their iframe google sheet data uniquely switched out to each appropriate individual each time. If there is one that is the only thing I can think of that could ever solve this. I just can't seem to get around the need for more and more pages as I add more and more member accounts. One idea I had (and it's a pretty inelegant, awful and confusing one for members) to add more people is to buy a few seperate sites and domains and duplicate my current site, buy new sentry login subscriptions for each to allow members to join, and then send clients to the slightly differing URL's to log in and explain to them the situation and not to log in to the other sites or the main one... What a nightmare right? But I'll have to do that and look like an idiot if I don't come up with another solution soon. So you see that by way of initial poor design I have stupidly painted myself into somewhat of a tight corner. So much work has gone in and I have such a complicated google sheets backend system going on that a complete redesign is out of the question. You might say the solution is to hire a developer and ordinarily speaking I would agree but the current financial situation makes this impossible and I'm left to try to tackle things on my own with little to zero coding knowledge. Willing to learn I just have no idea which direction to head in doing so. Any ideas at all please let me know. - Marley

Site URL: https://www.mhsfantasypokerleague.com Hey there, I've had quite the trouble wrestling with something that I (stupidly it seems) thought would be a lot easier than it's turned out to be for a layman web builder anyway.. data tables. I have a need in what I'm doing at the moment to have a HUGE amount of data.. maybe 500 pages worth of names and prices that needs to be organised into a searchable data table for use by my site's members. Took me forever but I finally have the thing able to search perfectly fine. I was overjoyed at that but then I quickly realised that function is near useless to me if my table is a thousand miles long running down the page. So now I'm completely stuck in as far as knowing how I make this table in a way it can be divided up into pages like.. 1/2/3/4/10/20/30 etc.. of about 10 or 20 each page and still be searchable as it is now. Haven't found anywhere on the web that can explain to me how to do this without it getting verrrry complicated and way over my head. Tried to install Jquery at one point and just lost in stuff I didn't understand. I don't know how to code.. I can just cut and paste code and tweak CSS and HTML in small ways that I can comprehend. ** A seperate side issue I have is I can't get my table headers to display on the page.. when I edit them in the edit screen on Squarespace I see them but not when I save it out. Very odd. I've got around this by putting my headers in a text column above the table but this "solution" is inelegant to say the least, not to mention does not line up with the data in the columns. Anyway if anyone can point me in the right direction please let me know what I should be doing from here. Thanks in advance, Marley A test page where I'm working on the data table can be found here. https://www.mhsfantasypokerleague.com/fantasy-betting-markets-test-page

Site URL: http://www.marleyshouseofsport.com In my settings for my template I have all buttons for my site set to "pill" shaped. However for two buttons on just one of my pages I need them to be square with a border. Firstly how do I do this? Secondly, in the past when I have customised something similar to this in this way I am using a block ID for that particular button to change things in the CSS code.. however in the case of client accounts where I have to duplicate a page over and over again.. making this change for every duplicate page in the CSS is the only way I've been able to make these changes. How then can I create a page with these sort of custom CSS alterations that I can then simply duplicate into another identical page? Would I need to inject that code into that particular page instead? Any help would be very much appreciated. - Dan

The site I'm working on is: www.marleyshouseofsport.com Password: accessgranted77 I'm just signed up for member areas and I'm really struggling to get my head around whether I can actually accomplish what I want to do with it or not. If it turns out it's impossible I'd love to even know that so I could then just stop paying squarespace the fee for it and find some other way. Anyway, I have login activated in the header and you can test it by clicking "login" with the following details: login: thenakeddonkeysnutzpodcast@gmail.com Password: accessgranted77 Now my issues (if you have time to even answer one of these it would be very very helpful!) Problem 1. When you login using the "login" link it won't replace navigation and send the user to the members only home page like I want even when I enable this in settings.. instead it just stays on the main website. Now when you go in the "proper way" through the "sign in" button that all works fine. A solution is maybe with code there is somehow a way to hide the "login" link completely and then I could change the "sign in" button to "Login/Sign up". However if I do this I'm guessing it will also hide the "Account" link (which the login link turns into once logged in) and of course I need that. Problem 2: When members create an account it just immediately creates one and lets them in but instead I'd like to remove their ability to create an account all together. I want to be the only one to manually approve those accounts before they are allowed to have one and be let in. Problem 3: If you look in my "My betting" or "My results" pages in the member areas you'll see I've embedded a google sheets link in there so I can (hopefully) display individual results for each member I can then update daily offsite via my google account per user. This is a huge problem I have no idea how can possibly be solved because I can't for the life of me see anyway I can make these individualised accounts editable specifically by me in a way that they are personalised to each account holder. I have ten potential members currently and my idea was to create their personalised results in google sheets and embed them into these pages. But how can I do that if I can't manage or edit their accounts individually? Whatever I change in the member areas pages effects EVERY member in exactly the same way. The way it appears to work outside of actual store sales makes the whole idea of a member login area a bit redundant, especially for what I need to accomplish. Problem 4: When members log in I'd like them to have discount points which accumulate and the balance if which needs to accumulate near the "account" link on the top right once they login. I can manually update these numbers for each account for now but they need to be there somehow. Again I'm back to the issue of not being able to edit each new member's account individually. Anyway I know all that was a mouthful but the crux of what I want to know is should I completely give up on ever accomplishing any of this using squarespaces member areas? Is that system just too simplistic to be able to store individual embedding or information that needs to be updated daily? If so what do you think is the way to move forward toward this goal? Do I need to maybe hire a coder? If it's the template that's standing in my way and I have to just start the entire site over again or save up and pay someone who can do all this for me I'd rather know that now then waste months trying to figure it out on my own. I'd love to understand even on a basic level how web builders accomplish such things. About all I have is a basic understanding of html code which ends up translating into mostly copying and pasting the code of others and tweaking it to my needs. Thank you so much again for even reading this. Definitely don't expect you to even try to solve these many issues for me but if you could point me in the right direction or explain anything I would be very VERY grateful. Cheers, Dan

Site URL: http://www.marleyshouseofsport.com I've just signed up to member areas and I'm pretty confused as to how it's going to accomplish the long list of what I need but I'll start with a simple requirement I have that I can't seem to accomplish. What I'd like is once members have logged in to have their specific discount points number balance they have accumulated appear to the left of their "account" link or failing that within their built in account area. Because this amount for each member is updated daily of course this number input is different for everyone and at least until I can figure out some way to implement and automate that kind of a changing system I'll be happy to do it manually for now but even getting that far is stressing me out. I'll learn whatever I need to to make that happen though. Any help or even just telling me this is impossible without being an advanced coder and to give up would be a load off 🙂 Thanks.

Site URL: http://www.marleyshouseofsport.com I've been duplicating pages on my website to make building things a bit easier but notice that in the options under SEO there's not an option to change the SEO site title on my duplicate pages. Now this granted is in my members only section (which is not live yet because I'm still deciding on whether to pay for it and have one or not...) but I'm not sure if this is the reason I can't change it. Does anyone have any input on this. It's not really relevant to this post since you can't see the pages on the site in question but just in case the access password is: accessgranted77

Oh hey Tuan. I've emailed you about this recently anyway but just in case you get to this first. Access password is : accessgranted77 Sorry about all the questions all around the place. Being new I know I probably have way too many around 🙂

Thank you so much. This help 🙂

Site URL: http://www.marleyshouseofsport.com My question is just about the members only areas which I am totally new to. If I pay for this feature can I include anything and any page (and it's inherent functionality) in this zone and is it possible to create it in a way that retains specific information for individual members only that extents beyond the built in functions of a store etc? For example, could I make a page of my own that saves a database of frequently updated information on sports scores and bets in my case.. that's obviously going to be different for every person logged in depending on what they enter. I'm new to all this and just trying to learn and do it all myself to cut down costs. Just trying to get my head around how it's all accomplished and what I need to know in order to get this done. I'm using a template so I hope that is not a hinderance to the process. I also do not want to subscribe to the member areas thing if it will not ultimately accomplish what I need it to. Thanks, Dan

Hi thank you so much for responding! The site is password protected for various reasons but in this screen shot maybe you can see what I mean.. I'd like the rest of the nav links to appear just to the left of the "sign up" button. If I were to continue my nav links after "Contact" for example, the drop down menus from them will overlap with my large logo in a way that makes things look awful because you can see the black boxes surrounding them. (*see second screenshot of what happens when I add more nav "test" links.) Getting rid of the black around the letters so that just the letters in the links are visible and nothing else would also be an acceptable fix..

Hey there. I'm new to squarespace and don't know how to code so the best I can do is inject code where necessary by copy and pasting what someone else gives me. That much I know. What I'm trying to do is get some code that will accomplish a few things specifically on the lockscreen. I'm using the bailard template. The most important thing is changing the size of the "body" text on that lock screen. The other thing I'd like to do is for the entire lockscreen (linked background video and all) to initially fade in from black. No idea if that's even possible but it would be cool. On top of that having an audio file (linked externally from soundcloud or wherever) play as this all happens would be the icing on the cake. I don't know how much of this is actually possible to code so bare with me but any of it at all would be insanely helpful! Thanks! - Dan (Tasmania/Australia)

I have a site using the Bailard Template. My main navigation links in the header overlap with my background picture in a weird way so what I'd like to do is have four nav links on the left then a space in the middle and the other three links on the right of the header. How do I go about creating this space between these two groups of main nav header links? Any help would be very much appreciated. I can't code but I know how to inject it and alter it a little. Thanks! - Dan
