  1. Hey Kids. I hope you're all doing well. Need some quick advice on how to handle a PDF form. I am converting a website from WP (YAY!) and they have a form that gets filled out via a PDF. Is there a way natively in SQSP that can handle it? I thought about using the contact form but it's a bit complicated. Attached is the form I need to be integrated on the new site. 
    Thanks!image.thumb.png.da3997c8dc852125a7b1cf02d821f613.png

  2. Would love to piggyback off this thread and get some advice from @justin.mabee about moving a site from WP  to SQSP:

    Hey there, fellow Squarespace enthusiasts! I'm reaching out to this amazing community to ask for some advice on a project I'm tackling for a very special client – my wonderful wife, Miss Beefy! 💕
    She's currently using a WordPress site that's proven to be a bit too complex for her needs (I wasn't the creator). I'm certain that I can create a more user-friendly experience for her by rebuilding the site on the Squarespace platform.
    For those of you who have experience migrating sites, I would truly appreciate your insight on the following:
    Pricing: What do you think is a reasonable rate to charge for a project like this?
    Timeline: How long have similar migrations taken you in the past?
    I'll share the link to the current site for reference. Thank you all in advance for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Your feedback is invaluable to me, and I can't wait to make this transition a success for Miss Beefy! 🚀

    Hey Andrew,

    I'm running into the same issue.

    The code you pasted above using 

    .header-actions-action--social a:nth-of-type(1)

    rather than Justin's 

    .sqs-svg-icon--list a:nth-of-type(1)

    also worked for me on desktop but not on mobile. 

    What was the code you used to change it on mobile? Thanks!

    Sorry for the late response, I just saw this. I actually cleaned it up myself. Here's what I use  in my header and footer. The header has some code to animate it on hover. 

     

    /* General Styles and Fonts */
    @font-face {
        font-family: 'bardamu';

    Hopefully someone much more technologically wise can give me some pointers on this, and how to hopefully fix the issue:

    Earlier last year, I decided to create a new website with Squarespace, to eventually replace my old website that runs on a different domain. Everything was easy peasy, everything worked great, except GSC kept telling me the URLs on my products and categories are too long. I was getting good sales, people seemed to not have a problem finding my site. But still, GSC told me the urls are too long - So I changed the names of categories, and some products - which, obviously, caused all products to no longer be available to Google, since those urls are no longer valid.

    I did quite a few manual 301 redirects from the old url to the new ones - but GSC still says there are 94 pages not indexed, and the last crawl date shows N/A. I've been trying to submit the new urls manually to have them indexed - but no change on GSC.

    I've resubmitted the sitemap multiple times, though that seems to be happening automatically anyway, so that's probably overkill anyway.ScreenShot2024-01-16at3_23_15PM.thumb.png.2494df343553cb6cef99fa088ea8db03.png 

    Orders and visits to my site have dropped wayyyy down.
    Is there a way to fix this indexing issue to bring my site back up, in a way that a technologically challenged person like me can do that on my own?
    (I did not connect my two sites - the old one runs on Opencart, and I'd hate to break that one as well as this one in the process).

    I have the same problem with my services page which I feel should be indexed. I've requested it to be so a few times but nothing yet. Have you had any success or new insight here? Anyone?

     

  6. Great topic! 
    I'll mention that I'm a graphic designer with ZERO artistic skills which wasn't easy. I launched a little web/graphic design n more company, Bardamu Consulting Services (check out the site if you're curious about the name) a few years ago and I'll share my original logo and the one now that I use. I'm thinking about evolving it even more. What changed? AI, of course. Now someone like me that can't sketch or create with my hands can now create anything with my words.

    Hey Andrew! This is easy with a bit of custom code. I've included a couple screenshots and the code I used here. 

    What you would do is put the social links that you want in, and then navigate to Website Tools, then Custom CSS. From there, upload the files of the logo you want to use (in this case, the bluesky logo you want to use) in the color you want. Then, add this code, and notice that it says nth-of-type(3). That means it's the 3rd social link. So wherever you want the link, put it there in the order you want it. If you want it to be the first one, it would be nth-of-type(1). They just need to match in the social icons links area.

    Once you have the code in there, copy and paste the URL of the image you just uploaded to Custom CSS, and put it between the parentheses under background-image: url(_).

    Hope this helps!

    //Custom Social Icons//
     .sqs-svg-icon--list a:nth-of-type(3) {
        svg {
          display:none;
        }    
        background-image: url();    
        background-size: 100%;    
        background-repeat: no-repeat;  
      }

    Hey Justin! Thanks for that. The Code that did work for me was:
     

    .header-actions-action--social a:nth-of-type(1) {
    svg {
    display:none;
    }
    background-size: 100%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }
    But it didn't work on mobile, so I added this:
    @media screen and (max-width: 640px) {
    .header-actions-action--social a:nth-of-type(1) {
    /* Your mobile-specific styles here */
    background-size: 100%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }
    }
    But that didn't work. Thoughts?
    Thank you!
  8. I've been doing some extra SEO work on a site and I find that it shows way better in Bing search results over google. How/should I leverage that in terms of SEO? How uses Bing and any other thoughts or advice?
