  1. paul2009's post in Product images scroll instead of swipe (mobile version) was marked as the answer   
    Hi @helena_santi 
    I completely agree. 
    Although a gallery of product images usually exists, users often only see the initial image because the 
    I have raised a feature request to improve the user experience on mobile product pages and, as a workaround, I posted some custom CSS: A scrollable product gallery on mobile.

    Let me know how you get on.

  2. paul2009's post in Analytics data transfer with site and domain transfer was marked as the answer   
    Hi Haley
    It won't be possible to move any of the backend data (analytics, customer profiles, sales) from one site to another. I'll message you with more info.
    Update: On 15th November 2023, Squarespace launched the version 7.0 to 7.1 update tool. It is now possible to do an in-place upgrade, including the backend data.
  3. paul2009's post in I need a solution where I can use a single form for all of my product pages. was marked as the answer   
    If you've created a Custom Product Form, you can add this to all your products if required.
  4. paul2009's post in Can I convert shop pages to categories? was marked as the answer   
    Yes @HeatherTPATP. You can easily move products between Store pages. 
    After moving products to a new page, add product categories to recreate your store's organisation.

  5. paul2009's post in Sales notification via emails was marked as the answer   
    If the other employees have been invited to be contributors to the website, with Store Manager (or Administrator) permissions, they will receive these email notifications once they have accepted the contributor invitation.

  6. paul2009's post in Changing Page Title Dynamically When User Changes Tab was marked as the answer   
    The code in the article isn’t CSS. It is JavaScript.
    When you add it to the a code Injection panel, you need to place it within “script tags”, like this:
    <script> (JavaScript goes here instead of this comment) </script>  
  7. paul2009's post in large screen problem was marked as the answer   
    I don't see the left alignment issue. On 5K displays, the content body is centre-aligned for me.

  8. paul2009's post in MISSING CLOSING '}' IN CUSTOM CSS WITH NO WAY TO FIND IT was marked as the answer   
    It is missing from line 12 🙂
  9. paul2009's post in Summary Block - remove link / redirect link was marked as the answer   
    If you would like the Summary Block tiles to link to other areas of the site, you can set the URLs as required so that another page loads instead of the blog post. To do this:
    Edit the Blog Post that you've used for the tile. Click the Options tab. Type the URL in the Source URL box. Check the Post Title should link to Source URL checkbox. Save the Post.
  10. paul2009's post in Any way to distribute serial numbers via squarespace commerce? was marked as the answer   
    This is what SendOwl is designed to do and, as it is self-contained, is often a good reliable choice. 
    There isn't a built-in Squarespace feature that can do this but it is possible using a number of third party tools in combination with Squarespace. Note that it isn't straightforward and so isn't something that I can cover comprehensively in a forum post but here's a summary of how it can be achieved.
    You'll need at least one Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tool like Parabola, Make and/or Zapier, as well as a cloud based productivity tool with email and online spreadsheets, like Google Workspace.
    Here are some example steps:
    1. Create an "Orders" sheet to store new Squarespace orders.
    2. Create a "Licence Key" sheet to store the licence keys.
    3. Create a workflow to pull each new order from the Squarespace Orders API and create a new row in the "Orders" sheet.
    4. Create a workflow to:
      (a) look for new rows (orders!) created in the "Orders" sheet and read the email address of the customer.
       (b) lookup the next available licence row in the "Licence Key" sheet.
       (c) read the licence key.
       (d) send a new email to the customer containing the licence key.
       (e) delete the row containing the key.
  11. paul2009's post in HIDE SINGLE IMAGE ON MOBILE ONLY was marked as the answer   
    Sure, but when you select this image, you should be able to move it behind the one of the other images (see below). Have I misunderstood what you want to be able to do?

  12. paul2009's post in Can you Hide your blog but keep your content was marked as the answer   
    If you drag it to the Not Linked section of the PAGES panel, it will still be available but won't appear in your navigation.
  13. paul2009's post in Embed code from GiveSmart not working was marked as the answer   
    That's working for me, although you'll probably want to adjust the iframe height to 992px instead of 100% 🙂
  14. paul2009's post in Embedding forms via 3rd party site Formsite onto Squarespace website was marked as the answer   
    @MauriceHThe old Squarespace 7.0 "Impact" template is part of the Brine family of templates and uses Ajax Page Loading to speed up the loading of pages, but this could affect third party code if it has not been written specifically for Brine-family templates. Please see my guide to Ajax Page Loading (Why does Squarespace code only work on refresh?) for more info.
    If you need more help, please provide a link to the page on your website and details of the code you are using and where you've added it.

  15. paul2009's post in Best plugin for more sophisticated search function? was marked as the answer   
    The solution will depend on what you need to search and filter but, until Squarespace add a native solution, the best filtering solution for Squarespace is a plugin called Universal Filter. (This is an affiliate link for a product I use and love. If you make a purchase I may receive a tiny commission. All opinions remain my own.)

  16. paul2009's post in Need a better way to have 300+ images on a page was marked as the answer   
    A workaround is to add them to a collection page instead of a standard "layout" page. It will take a little longer to input the details, but having added them, you'll have more control over loading and filtering the content.
    If you're on Squarespace 7.1 (the latest version) then you'll probably want to create a hidden blog page and add each person to the blog as a new "post", adding their photo as the thumbnail. 
    (The following paragraph  is an affiliate link for a product I use and love. If you make a purchase I may receive a small commission. All opinions remain my own.)
    With some custom code you can make it better by pulling the contents of the blog (the thumbnails and titles) onto a visible page using a Summary Block (in Grid mode) and then lazy loading it a few rows at a time (with a button or automatically). I recommend the paid plugin Lazy Summaries* for this. If you tag/categorise each post then you can also filter the results (using the built in method (with a link like /pageslug?category=categoryname) or with an advanced plugin like Universal Filter*.
    *These are affiliate links for products that I use and love. If you make a purchase I may receive a small commission. All opinions remain my own.

  17. paul2009's post in Increase maximum number of items on Blog Summary was marked as the answer   
    Have you considered another plugin by the same author as Universal Filter? It is called Lazy Summaries. (This is an affiliate link for a product I use and love. If you make a purchase I may receive a small commission.)
  18. paul2009's post in Continue Shopping Button for Cart was marked as the answer   
    Hi @Jesse-WMFE
    Your screenshot shows the Checkout page. This page can't be modified so you won't be able to add a button to this page. 
    If you wanted to add a continue button to the Cart page instead (the page that loads before the checkout), you could do this by writing some custom code and adding it to the site-wide code injection panel. If you'd prefer to buy a popular tested solution, please take a look at my plugin: Continue Shopping Button.
  19. paul2009's post in Can the owner of a template edit my work? was marked as the answer   
    The person who shared the template should not remain as the owner of the site. Shortly after you obtained the template, I would expect the template owner to transfer ownership of the site to you. If this hasn't happened within a reasonable period of time then I recommend that you contact them and ask them to do so. Only the current site owner can transfer ownership of the site. 
    After they transfer ownership to you, the former owner will remain as a contributor with administrator permissions, unless you remove the previous owner or they manually remove themselves.

  20. paul2009's post in How to let 2 different ID's interact with same object? was marked as the answer   
    As I say, you can prevent pointer events with some CSS. For example, to affect the title in the "Photography" tile you could add something like this:
    .fe-block.fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1704283491882_2035 { pointer-events: none; } Did this help? Please give feedback by clicking an icon below  ⬇️
  21. paul2009's post in Curious to know more about Developer mode was marked as the answer   
    The best advice I can give is to document your requirements (or your client's requirements) and then decide how you can meet each one.
    Can they be met with built in features on version 7.1? Use 7.1. Can they be met with custom code? Use Code Injection and Custom CSS. Do they require access to the server/backend? Use a different platform (not Squarespace). Can they only be met with Developer Mode (DM)? Use DM on the older v7.0 platform. In summary, I would only recommend building a site on Squarespace 7.0 with DM in 2023/2024 if the requirements can only be met by using DM. Once you enable DM, the site's template will never be updated by Squarespace, so this can present many future maintenance challenges.

  22. paul2009's post in would like product description to be under image gallery was marked as the answer   
    By default, the Full layout is designed for a "full bleed" design where the images are edge-to-edge. As websites are "responsive" and must adapt to different sized browsers and displays, product images are set to "cover" the area so they remain full width at all resolutions. Personally, I prefer them this way but, if you would prefer to have whitespace at wider resolutions so that images are "contained", you can achieve this with some custom CSS. For example:

    img.pdp-gallery-slides-image { object-fit: contain!important; } Does this help?

  23. paul2009's post in How to get rid of this 'tag' on blog page? was marked as the answer   
    You should be able to hide all the blog tags with this Custom CSS:
    .blog-item-wrapper .blog-meta-item--tags { display: none; } In case you aren't aware, another way to bypass the '30 summary items' limit is to use a plugin called Lazy Summaries. It can also 'lazy load' the items to improve performance. (This is an affiliate link for a product I use and love. If you make a purchase I may receive a small commission.)

  24. paul2009's post in Additional options for subscriptions frequency? was marked as the answer   
    There isn't an option to have different frequencies for a single product. This is only available for Member Area Subscriptions right now, not for products. The only way to achieve this for products is to add three separate products and set a different frequency for each one.

     
     
  25. paul2009's post in I am unable to display reviews from customers was marked as the answer   
    If Reviews were enabled before this customer made their purchase, the customer will receive an automated email 14 days after their order was fulfilled. The email contains a unique review link. When they click the link in the email, they can leave a 1500-character written review for each item in the order, and a rating between one and five stars.
    Note that:
    Customers cannot leave a review until they receive the automated email containing the unique review link Customers who placed their orders more than 14 days before you enabled product reviews won't receive the product review request email You cannot edit reviews It’s not possible to respond directly to reviews Did this help?
