I have a code somewhere on my page that is preventing something from working but I, for the life of me, cannot find it. Does such an add-in exist? Thanks.

The site header is taking on the theme of the section right below it. Why is that? Right below my site header starts with a section title. The theme is Light 1. If I change this sectiion it from Light 1 to Light 2 it also changes the site header. This means I have to add a blank section right below the site header with nothing it (a spacer if you will) and then create another section with my theme. That doesn't make sense to me so I'm going to say this is user error and I would like someone to tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

Yes, on both ends Ziggy. I was logged in and it didn't work. Then I logged out but it didn't work either. Then I closed out everything and deleted the cache on all browsers that I tested on and it was worked. Thank you.

This site is hidden but I have literally created a link to https://www.moecritiques.com/2024/abbott-elementary-s3 If I copy and paste it it works. When I user it as a link it literally takes me back to a config page in Squarespace. I have no CSS Code at all because this has been a crapshow all day long. I have emptied out my browser, I have used Safar and Firefox and am getting the same thing. I am so beyond frustrated with just a simple link.

Is there a fix for this yet? Every time I add a word to an existing block of text, or add a block code it moves EVERYTHING down the page so far down that I have to first, pull the block code up, and it takes forever because it moves it so far down (sometimes adding 50+ extra rows for no reason) and then I have to try and highlight all the other blocks, images, markup and bring them back up and again, if you add 50+ rows, I have to bring it back up to the top, then stop and scroll the webpage, and then hope they are still selected and bring it back to where I want it only to have it do it all again. How is this productive? There has got to be a work around for this. I can't be creative or lose my train of thought because I have to go back and re-design. I understand that this won't be a perfect system but this is something that should be included in what I paid for. This is FRUSTRATING OMG.

Thank you both. Some things will be site-wide some will be page-wide. I was putting all the page coding at the top of the page so I would have one place to go. Now that I realize I can add comments in code, it helps a lot. I'm in the middle of re-branding and rebuilding and trying to be organized to make it easier down the road so I'm taking my time. Thanks again.

I'm finding I'm using a lot of code. Some I put in CSS and some I put directly on the page that I'm working with. I'm trying to find the best methodology for placement for code because sometimes I can't find my code on the page, and I have to do a ctrl-a and when it highlights, then I can see where it's at. I could put it in the CSS, but my CSS is already overrun with code. I have put comments /* in the CSS so I know what pertains to what, but I'm not sure where to put the page codes. I do backup and copy out all my CSS code but realize I can't do that with the page code. Does anyone have a best practice for page codes? Any tips for that matter. Thanks in advance.

Anyone. I've now tried to target section[data-section-id="65dd51a68e3d9b0a3e68567a"] { .lessons-list .nested-category-children{ position: sticky!important; top:0; z-index:9999!important; background:#8EB6DC!important } } and though the background works the titles still don't stick. I must not have the name of the category right or the list may be named something else that I am not aware of.

I got a recommendation for an html editor and it's working. Thanks

In following Becca's tutorial I did a test on my site. I removed all css code on my site and just pasted the below one at a time to make sure no other code was interfering. The Sidebar Category titles does not scroll when user scrolls with the first css code provided it stays on the side. Great. .lessons .nested-category-tree-wrapper { position:sticky; top:1rem } But, if I choose to have the sidebar category on the top, the below css code provided does not work. Not sure if the category-children needs another name but the first one works perfectly. Not sure if this needs a section{data-section-id] to target it but i'm not sure how to tweak this. I did ignore the background as it wasn't relevant. Can any one provide some insight. Thanks in advance. .lessons .nested-category-children{ position:sticky!important; top:0; z-index:99!important; background:#FFF!important }

I will see if I can find some plug-ins that will allow for that modification. If you have suggestions I will take it. Thanks.

Forget this question. I figured it out. It's not intuitive at all!

I tried that earlier today and thankfully I have a wide screen monitor. When I stretch out chrome to make edits and add blocks, it doesnt seem to move the other blocks but sure enough when I try and size it like a regular user would, every thing moves and I have to resize the whole page. When I work on my macbook air I find that if I zoom out, that also works too. I don't know why this is the case buts it's frustrating me to the max.

Hi tuanphan. I actually figured it out. I had css scripting that was doing it. I did the ole remove all css and see what happens and that was it so I found it and re-scripted it another way. I should have closed this but thank you so much for responding. I appreciate it.

I have to add that I decided to see if using command or option or control keys would work and they didn't but finally, I think I discovered that if I just create the text box but don't type in it. Move it to where I want and then type in it, nothing shifts. I'm sure everyone knows this now but since I'm new and trying to find answers well that's what conclusion I came to.

Wow, I mean, I will research this forum to see if, maybe since 2022 there is an answer to this. I am so tired of creating a text box and then as soon as I move it everything on my page shifts and I literally have to shift it back up and down and depending on how many blocks I have that's hella annoying. And the suggestion to lock blocks in place is something I would love.

Hi Miles. Thank you for your suggestion. I'm struggling with upgrading because I will in no way be shopping or selling goods or anything like that at all, but it appears that while I can insert some CSS code into my page, some I can't and requires Java, which means an upgrade and I'm just trying to justify what I can do now versus what I can't do and the problem is I only know what I can't do when I can't do it. I will do a little more research on what upgrading offers me in terms of design control because, ultimately, that's what I'm looking for. Thank you again for responding. I appreciate it.

This is interesting because I just posted this same behavior I'm having now on Chrome and I'm sure the circle member tried but there was no answer for this and I just gave up and told him not to worry about it. I tried your suggestion but it didn't work for me but what I am going to do is the opposite. I'm going to just copy out the markup and paste it, edit it there, and then paste it back in. Thanks for the idea.

I love the Video Library template. For what I need it's perfect... BUT... there is no control over this. Example, when a user clicks and opens a video I do have css to not open it in full screen, but I don't want the next video or previous video arrows or text. I may want something else. Also, I realize this particular template has a section effect when I add something before it (won't go into details that part is not important). Here is my question. Is there another template that does what this template does but gives me more creative control or is there a plugin that will do this? Ive searched Squarespace plugins and didn't see anything. Then of course, if I use a plugin will it need injection permissions which means I would have to upgrade from personal? Ugg, decisions, decisions 😂 . Right now it's looking like I'm going to have to recreate these one by one. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ziggy. Code, unfortunately, does not make it easily readable like markdown, and I lose my ability to wrap text around an image. No worries about this. I can just use a simple markdown editor outside of Squarespace and copy it back in. Please close this. You all have better things to do than worry about this, and I appreciate your assistance. Thanks.

Hi Tuanphan. https://www.moecritiques.com/fanningout (pw=tuanphan) I'm not sure if you can see the coding behind it. If you cannot, let me know how to make you a temporary contributor or admin so you can see. If you can, then great. I think I've figured out that this may be an issue with the template I chose, which is the one for video library and there is no real customization on that but at your convenience, let me know. Thanks.

I Ziggy. I wanted to follow up with you on this. I did close all the styles, and the cursor for whatever reason, still moves. I then used an editor to copy and paste the code to hopefully eliminate my HTML writing errors. The cursor still moved when I clicked in a spot, tried to add a word or sentence, and then it just moved to the first line of the markdown dialog box. I also noticed something else. I cannot see all of the text in the markdown dialog box. When I put my cursor at the very bottom of the markdown dialog box and then try to hit the down arrow, it will not go beyond that even thought I have additional text. I'm going to use markdown sparingly but will need it for basic adding text around an image. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or maybe this is just the way it is. I keep edits in a separate place, so I may just have to make any minor edits in a separate editor and then just paste it back. Thanks for following up, I totally appreciate it. If you have any more suggestions, let me know. You all know way more than I do, so I appreciate the knowledge transfer. Have a great Thursday.

I took this from a stock photo but it does the same thing. I want to see the actual hand in full in the section background. I have tried every size suggested and to no avail. I changed it to inset but then it was smaller with a border. I moved the little white circle up but as you can see it just focused on where the circle is. Is there any way to see the whole hand? This may not be able to be done but I thought I would try. Thanks.

I have the setting on fixed but when a user scrolls down my header scrolls up halfway. I could understand about giving more real estate but I would like to see what it looks like if the header remains. I also have css so this may be affecting it as well. Here is the code. Any help would be appreciated. If I need to create a new thread I will. Thanks. Photos of what the whole banner looks like and then what the banner looks like when a user scrolls are also attached. /*this is for the logo */ .header { background-image:url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/65d6a74d8df0af2a991fed5f/t/65dd39063098fa5161156db5/1708996871890/MoeCritiques+SS+2-26-24.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:100%; background-position: center; } /*this is for the header text = white */ body:not(.homepage) { header#header nav div.header-nav-item>a { color: white !important; } div.burger-inner>div { background-color: white !important; } } /*this is for the title display to none */ .header-title { display: none; }

I would like to know this as well.
