paul2009's post in Font ID expert? was marked as the answer
Here's the answer:
Firefox has a great tool to inspect fonts used on a webpage. Just open the Inspector tool, select the <body> element and select the Fonts tab in the sidebar 🙂.

As an example, if you select English (United Kingdom) in Settings > Website > Site Languages you should see the preview change from $1,234.56 to A$1,234.56. Don't forget to click SAVE in the top right corner! 🙂

The black bar that reads "90 Days..." was not created with code 🙂
It is your Announcement Bar and you can disable it in Marketing > Announcement Bar.

paul2009's post in how to buy a subdomain was marked as the answer
You don't need to buy a subdomain. If you own the domain, you can simply add a subdomain by creating a new DNS record. See Pointing a Squarespace subdomain. It explains how to add a custom record that both creates the subdomain and points it to the other location.

paul2009's post in Automation of event creation was marked as the answer
There isn't a way to create events on a Squarespace Events page because there isn't an API for the Events collection. Squarespace only has Commerce APIs.
If you want to pull custom event data from a Google sheet you will need to write some custom JavaScript that extracts the data and places it data directly onto a standard page, rather than storing the data in a Squarespace Events collection.

paul2009's post in International Shipping was marked as the answer
Squarespace has real-time retail rates for FedEx, UPS, and USPS, but only in the US and only for domestic shipping. You can connect third party shipping extensions to make the admin easier for you, but they cannot apply real-time rates for customers who use the website. You'll need to set the shipping options up manually.

paul2009's post in Currency conversion was marked as the answer
@Pg1 Squarespace have locked down the checkout page to protect the payments process and, in doing so, have prevented third party developers from adding code to this page. We can display prices in alternative currencies on product pages but this Squarespace restriction prevents anyone from showing alternative currencies on the checkout page.
Obviously this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps 🙂.

paul2009's post in Breadcrumbs for products was marked as the answer
On the latest version (7.1), Squarespace only shows partial Product Breadcrumbs on Product Detail Pages. These will be limited to the Store (page) name and the Product Title. If you'd like to include product categories in breadcrumbs it will require code.
If you're interested in a pre-built code solution, please take a look at my Product Breadcrumbs extension.

paul2009's post in Why is it so hard to create a simple image carousel? was marked as the answer
If you are building a new website using the latest version of Squarespace (version 7.1) there are a number of ways to build a carousel, including the use of Gallery Sections. However, Gallery Blocks are no longer in General Availability (GA). The confusion in this thread is because a small number of users do still have limited access to them.
I don't know of any plans to launch Gallery Blocks again but, if this is important to you, I recommend that you contact Squarespace Customer Care directly. If they're unable to help, there is a third party plugin available from Squarewebsites called Squarespace Admin UI Tweaks (affiliate link) that should allow you to add Gallery Blocks to sections.

paul2009's post in Website not loading unless I have www in the URL was marked as the answer
By default, your site should work correctly with or without the "www" subdomain. It does for me 🙂
As @creedon said, if a user types the domain name into their browser without the "www" it should automatically redirect to www.wildandwhimsy.co.uk. This is by design.
If you don't want the "www" to appear, you can disable this as follows:
In Squarespace, go to Settings > Domains. In the DOMAINS MANAGED BY THIRD-PARTY section, click your domain name. It should have a 'PRIMARY' label. In the panel that appears on the right, uncheck Use www prefix.

paul2009's post in How can I sell tickets on Squarespace? was marked as the answer
On Squarespace, digital download products are digital files that can be duplicated and sold without modification. For this reason, you cannot limit the inventory - the file can be duplicated an unlimited number of times.
If you want to limit inventory of a digital asset you'll need to sell it as a service product and then manually fulfil the orders.
If you are planning to sell tickets, you may want to consider using a third party ticketing service, like:

paul2009's post in Extra Space On Right Side - Mobile View was marked as the answer
This will happen if your CSS causes elements to "overflow" outside of the site "container". You can usually hide this overflow by adding the following to Design > Custom CSS but bear in mind that it is only hiding the issue - it is not fixing it. You can find out more about overflow-x in this guide.
For a more permanent fix, you can check through each line of custom code to see if it is causing the issue.
body { overflow-x: hidden; overflow-x: clip !important; } Was this post helpful? Please give feedback by clicking an icon below ⬇️

paul2009's post in Passing on stripe processing fees to customers was marked as the answer
When customers are paying
There isn’t a way to do this automatically for transactions through the Squarespace checkout. Code cannot be used to change this.
You may want to consider manually increasing your online prices (in the Inventory panel) to offset the cost of Stripe costs.

paul2009's post in Changing to a different template was marked as the answer
Squarespace 7.1 only has one template, so it isn't possible to "change".
Squarespace show off the design possibilities by showing you lots of named ideas that they confusingly refer to as "templates", but they are really just different "starting points" using the same template.
This is great because it means that every site will have the same features. If you've already started your site in Squarespace 7.1, you'll be able to manually copy any of these starting point designs without switching templates or starting again.
However, if you'd prefer to start again with a different starting point, you'll need to start a new trial.

paul2009's post in MAKE USERS SIGN UP WITH EMAIL TO DOWNLOAD PDF was marked as the answer
In addition to using Squarespace Campaigns (as suggested above) you could also use Mailchimp or Zapier to automate this. Squarespace Campaigns is far easier to manage but the other services have free plans.
I don't recommend using the post submit suggestion if you want to avoid fake and spam email addresses. This method will provide the user will a link to the PDF without validating their email address, whereas the other options will require a valid email address because if the user provides a fake one they'll never be emailed with the PDF. 🙂

paul2009's post in How do I remove the .squarespace from my URL address? was marked as the answer
Every Squarespace site comes with a built-in domain (also known as a Squarespace URL) that looks like this:
yoursiteid.squarespace.com
You'll always see your built-in domain in your browser address bar when you're logged in.
When you register, transfer, or connect a custom domain to your site, visitors will see that custom domain in their browser address bars instead of your built-in domain. If you don’t already have a custom domain, you can register one through Squarespace.

paul2009's post in My website is still under construction after going public was marked as the answer
This domain is currently showing a "parking page" instead of your Squarespace website. If you recently registered your domain, have you verified ownership? If yes, go to your Domains panel to check the domain points to the website.
If neither helps, please contact Squarespace Customer Care directly
