@Poncho I would insert a line break to force the "Personal Development" into 2 lines. 

So after "Personal" , press enter or shift+enter on your keyboard, then "Development" will go on the second line. This way it is the same as your other two titles. 

A simple editing trick!

I need to delete the words in the heading under the navigation heading and cannot do it. 

Hi, those are pages in your navigation. To remove them, you need to move the pages to the section under "Not Linked".

Please see Squarespace's article on how to Remove a page from navigation.

And this is the code which I believe made the brush strokes of the header happen:

/*header brush effect and gradient overlay */
  #brush {
    display: inline-block !important; 
.....

Hi, between 7.0 and 7.1, the html has likely changed. There is no #brush class in Squarespace, so this must have been a custom code, added using Javscript. Is there code in your Code Injection that adds the class "brush"?

I've published my SS website (domain: www.aperture-pix.com) a few weeks ago. ...the website is not coming up on google searches (using firefox and brave browser), even when I put in my company name: aperturePIX.

Hi @NadjaK it can take Google quite some time (up to a few weeks) to index a new website. If you've connected to Google Search Console and there are no errors, then patience is key.

I just did this check on Google

site: www.aperture-pix.com

and can see that your website is in Google's index, so it is searchable on Google. That is good!

I have noticed that your business name contains words that are very specific but also highly searched keywords for photography; "aperture" and "pix".

This unfortunately means that you are competing with a lot of photography content on the internet. 

SEO experts might be able to help more on this front. But I would suggest focusing your SEO effort on keywords that your potential audience would search to find your content, rather than your business name alone.

Hope this helps.

That worked!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Excellent 🙂 Happy to help, glad it's all working for you.

Could you mark my post above as the solution please? To help others find the answer easier. Thanks

Hi,

Type this into Google

site:yourwebsite.com

Does your website show up?

If yes, then your website is indexed by Google. The issue of not seeing your website in Google is to do with SEO.

If not, then I would wait, as 72 hours is not that long, could take weeks for a new website. Submitting your sitemap in Google Search Console can help speed things up.

However when I resize my browser window the button moved relative to the text and sometimes ends up overlapping some text. 

This sounds like your text block and image block are overlapping. Double check that the blue outline (visible when dragging blocks around) of the text block and button block are not overlapping each other.

I'm creating a page of text and at various points at the end of paragraphs I want a button that directs the view elsewhere.

When you say "at the end of paragraphs", is this one continuous text block where you've placed buttons on top of?

I would suggest splitting the text block up. So you have a text block with a button placed below, another text block with a button placed below etc. This way they won't overlap each other, and should respond nicely to different screen sizes.

Happy to help, glad it's all working for you!

thanks. i wanted to change the weight of the font titles of my blog page but i had to change each blog title weight (blog one column, blog grid, blog side by side, etc.) until i found which blog configuration i had used. 

To find the relevant settings easier, when in Sites Styles, you can click on the block and it'll bring up/jump to the relevant setting. 

E.g. open Site Styles, click fonts, then in your website, click on the blog title (it will have a thin blue outline to indicate where you are clicking). 

Otherwise, you can find the blog layout you used under one of the Edit settings. The same place where you can change the blog layout. 

Hope this helps.

It is public.

You can set a password for the entire website as well as for an individual page. There are two settings. 

But as Ziggy said, a link would be useful

I already try it like that still no help. 

You might have set a password for the individual page. See Squarespace's article on Page Passwords for more information.

yes, no gap at all between the scrolling text and the top of the section

You can play around with this number! Although I wouldn't recommend less than 1, as for certain screen sizes it might clip. This line basically says to set the line-height to be a multiple of 1 of the font-size.

.Marquee h1 {
    line-height: 1!important;
}

Let me know how it goes!

hey lovely thank you for replying and taking the time to do that, it nudged it up slightly but didn't make it completely flushed, is there anything else i can try? xx

You want the top of the text touching the border between the coloured sections?

Try this in your Custom CSS. 

.Marquee-svg {
    transform: none;
}

Let me know how it goes. Might need to add !important.

When you say remove padding, assuming something like this? Rather than having the top of the text touching the border?

Hi @moonlitdesign please share the page url where this marquee is used

i think i used to be able to click on the thing i wanted to change and the appropriate format would pop up, but that doesn't seem to work any more. thanks. 

All sections (and blocks) have an Edit button. 

1) Hover over a section, click Edit Section

2) For other style changes, see top right of edit > click Brush icon for Site Styles

What do you want to change that you can't find?

How to change padding of accordion on mobile so it does not go over the margin?

Hi, looks like your accordion block is extended to the edge of the screen. 

Go to Mobile edit mode, and drag the block to be within the grid.

Let me know how it goes.

@melody495 On my about page I just changed the "Hey Mama" to be "heading 4" font which is where I set my cursive and it is all caps- do you see that? I am not sure how you got that paragraph to be not caps! I am so confused!

Magic 🙃 I used the inspect tool, this allows me to change the CSS locally (only visible to me and not affecting your website) 

Go to Site Styles -> Fonts -> Headings -> Transform, click the dropdown. Is this set to Uppercase?

All your heading fonts are in uppercase as per Site Styles setting. Your custom font code only changed the font family, not the upper/lower case.

Either change the option in Site Styles (this affects all headings so h1, h2, h3, h4), or add this line of code to where you apply your custom font and don't want the uppercase being applied.

text-transform: none;

Let me know how it goes.

I currently don't have the cursive published anywhere because it shows up as all caps when I try to use.

Hi, can you share the code that you used to apply your custom font that you are having issues with?

This is a screenshot where I tried High Spirited, it doesn't appear to be in all caps.

I have indexed the site, submitted sitemaps, and waited a few days, but nothing seems to be changing. Any help or ideas out there? 

Hi, if your site is new, it can take a couple of weeks for Google to index your website, even after submitting your site map. 

I would give it some time.

But you could check individual pages to see if any errors are stopping Google from indexing your page. You can do this in Google Search Console.

I have a blog with a bit more detail on Why my website is not appearing on Google? This will tell you how to check individual pages.

I am having troubles getting my website - www.electwarrenbrown.com - to show up in Google Search. I'm not looking for peak performance, but when some searches "Warren Brown Pagosa" or "Warren Brown County Commissioner" I'd expect to see something. 

This is a difference issue to the one above. Once your website is in Google's index, if you want your site to appear on Google search based on different search terms, this is called Search Engine Optimisation. 

I would first check that your site is indexed first, and see if this resolved your search result issue. 

Hope this helps.

@melody495 That's the solution I needed, thank you!

You're very welcome! Please do mark my post as the solution to help others find the answer easier 🙂

Hi, please share your site url as it's hard to tell what the issue is otherwise. You can set up a password on unpublished sites. 

Without looking, it sounds like it's jumping to the anchor link which would position to to of the screen. But if there is a header,  to of the screen = behind the header. If that is the case, you'll need to set an offset from the top so that jumps to the section plus x amount down to go past the header.

How do you change the style of blog post headings in the blog page? I have too many H1 headings on the blog page, including the page title, and so I need to make the headings H2.

Hi, which texts are H1 on your blog page? I can only see one H1, being your blog page title.

If you want to change the blog page title for all blog posts, then you can go to Site Styles -> Assign Styles -> Blog Post -> Title.

Thank you @melody495!
This is the code I used. The font used is included inside Squarespace so I didn't upload it.

The code look ok.

If the font isn't one of the 2 you have set for Heading or Paragraph, then you will need to upload the font file and treat it was a custom font. As Squarespace doesn't upload all font files available to load your website, that would be a lot of potentially unnecessary data to load that could slow down your website otherwise!

Hi, how did you apply this font to your h3? Please share your custom css code so it's easier for the community to help you.

Note, to use a font that is not the 2 set in Site Styles, you will need to use CSS to upload the font file then apply.
