I should clarify, that this situation is solvable, to a point using the Universal Filter plugin by exposing the .filter-value with CSS, like:
/* -- Expose .filter-value -- */ .custom-filter-container .filterDropdown:not(.outside-values-visible) .outsideFilterValues {display: block;} This will show the name of the tag or category a user has filtered underneath the filter name.
And this works wherever the filter is applied, but it really should be built in AND developers/clients should have the ability to name the value title, which using Universal Filter can be done within the config script for tags and/or categories, here:
name: 'Filter By Topic', multiple: true, capitalcase: true, getAttr: 'tags' Also, it's unfathomable to me why Squarespace would make the arbitrary decision to limit how tags and categories can be displayed AND to set character limits to categories.
Perhaps they'll add this back to 7.1 and have some internal reason for not doing so already, but a little more transparency from them would be greatly appreciated, especially with features that have been removed in the transition from 7.0 to 7.1.

This is a maddening issue with 7.1. Not only is there a limitation which only allows for categories to be shown in a blog section and NOT tags, but whenever something is filtered there's no way to show a user where they are, like in 7.0.
Even using the fantastic Universal Filter: https://www.squarewebsites.org/products/universal-filter
This seemingly arbitrary limitation feels impossible to solve.
Why Squarespace? Why?!
If anyone has a solution for this I'd like to know.
Thanks!

In 7.1, if you click on a tag or author name, you basically see the exact same page as the parent collection page but with the filtered results. Unlike 7.0, there is no visual indicator (i.e. text) to tell you what exactly changed and how your results were filtered.
Am I missing something or is there a way to display how exactly you filtered, such as with a "Filtered by tag XXX" in 7.1?

I am desperate to get all of my e-mail marketing out of Mailchimp and into Squarespace but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do an automated e-mail campaign where people receive an e-mail every time a new blog post is published. Is this possible? I basically want to create a template that is populated and triggered by an RSS feed. 
Like this: https://us11.campaign-archive.com/?e=95ace6cb16&u=40a022775bd326fb61d6fd9e4&id=e97973261b
I run a collaborative blog that publishes essays 3x a week. How can I sync our new content with an e-mail campaign? Some people prefer to read via e-mail ... 

As your Summary Block is showing 6 items on desktop, you'll want to hide the last 4 summary-items when the screen viewport (width) is less than 768px wide. You should be able to do this by adding the following to Design > Custom CSS:
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) { .sqs-block-summary-v2 {     .summary-item:nth-last-child(-n+4) {     display: none;     }   } } Notes:
This will apply to all summary blocks on the website when being viewed on a mobile.  The first line contains a media query that ensures the the CSS only applies when the page is viewed on a mobile (the screen is less than 768px wide). Setting Display to none hides the elements and removes the space that they would have occupied. The nth-last-child(-n+4) selector tells it to apply this setting to last 4 summary-items within the summary block.  We like to know if our posts help. Please consider clicking a 'Like' or 'Thanks' icon below  ⬇️

My website has leadership pages that display a person's bio and any blog articles they have authored. As far as I know, there is no way to filter a summary block by blog author, so I'm currently using tags to filter this summary block.

The problem with using tags is that it prevents me from using tags for more typical things such as blog topics. I don't want to have author names interspersed with blog topics as that would make for a poor viewing experience. 
My ideal scenario is this: categories are used for what kind of content it is (article, customer story, team highlight, etc.), tags are used for topics (business intelligence, digital learning, marketing), and the author profiles are used to populate the blogs someone has authored. 
Is something like this possible using 7.1?

I recently discovered that half of my SVG problems come down to this one fault:

In other words, file uploads (for SVGs, among other types) can only be utilised with CSS when the website has been paid for. Which to be honest, is ridiculous. I use SVGs to replace the logo, social icons, accordion icons, add elements to buttons, etc...I think it's pretty standard for web at this point?! Does anyone have a way of getting SVGs to load when a site is in trial mode? 😂

Try adding this to Design > Custom CSS to adjust ratio
.sqs-native-video .native-video-player { padding-bottom: 100% !important; }  

What's even more confounding, is that the controls are there. They simply don't work as yet. Social sharing is such an integral part of marketing for most of us, and it would seem to me that implementing this function should have been at the top of the list of things-to-do for the Squarespace team. 

I need to do this now as well – did you find a solution?
