I've spoken with technical support and there is no way around this. All logged-in members always have to give their name and email -- EACH TIME. It's yet another bizarre area of Squarespace that is counter-intuitive and not what you would expect for a very basic feature of a site.

I do not understand the comments set-up for Member Areas. With "Allow anonymous comments" turned on, my members have to enter their name and optional email when they press "Post comment" button. They shouldn't have to do this if they are logged in members. However, if I uncheck the option for "Allow anonymous comments," the commenting field disappears entirely. This makes no sense. Why would turning off anonymous comments completely remove the ability to add a comment?

Thank you for weighing in, Paul. I have submitted a ticket as you suggested. I cannot believe the fact that a basic component of site doesn't not functioning is not considered an urgent issue by the company. The fact they would let this go unaddressed is astoundingly bad management on the part of this company. I'll be looking for places to move my site. I've had it with this company.

Thanks for weighing in, Derrick. In my case, the bug is actually visible on the public page. Periodically, it just displays nothing on the published page.

Recently I added an archive block to a public page. The block periodically stops displaying anything at all. When I "touch" the page by going into the editor, it seems to make the archive block work again. I cannot figure out why it is going in and out of service. The page is https://www.thetechnologyletter.com/archive The attached two screen shots show that sometimes, the block in edit is displaying as empty of content, but if I edit the block, by again picking the linked page, the block fills up with content, as in the second image. So, the real question is why the block is losing track of the linked page. This seems to happen daily, as far as I can tell.

Thank you for the clarification!

@paul2009, do you know how to use SwifType’s User Agent to index Member Areas? The “Pro” plan offers the advanced feature of being able to index content behind a firewall but there is no instruction as to how to set up their User Agent to pass through a Member Areas paywall. I reached out to SwifType support and they didn’t have any idea what’s supposed to happen at a SquareSpace Member Area site.

I have a blog inside a member area. The RSS feed for the blog breaks in all RSS readers, I assume because the reader is running up against the password protection. Is there any way to make RSS work with member areas, or to achieve something similar to RSS for member areas?

Thanks, Paul.

Adding the built in search page as a link from the home page also does not solve the problem. The search page also does not return any results for any query.

I removed and replaced the search field with a new search field, and this time set it to search specifically the side-by-side blog page. This did not fix the problem. The search field still returns no results.

I have a search field at the top of my home page. It's meant so search the contents of the site's blog. After working fine for 2.5 years, suddenly it now will not return any search results for any word typed.

Creedon, thank you for weighing in. The user now informs me that in subsequent usage, the problem has gone away. So, it may well have been as you suggested.

A user who has signed up for Member Areas tells me that they cannot see the content of any of the pages, and they are continually challenged to log in again. Anyone have this experience? I don't entirely understand what they're seeing, but apparently, having accounts has made the site unusable for them.

Site URL: https://www.thetechnologyletter.com/the-posts/tag/Rohm Is there a way to edit the SEO of automatically generated tag pages of collection items such as blog pages? My SEO tool is telling me that each tag collection page such as this Url should have a distinct meta description. Thank you.
