Hi, I have 4 blog pages on my website. On one of them I want the author to be removed from the overview page. The other 3 should not be affected ans still show the author. Is there a header code injection I can use for that? Thanks

I'd like each blog post to show the full publication date "Day Month Year" instead of just "Day Month". I know the summary block shows the full date but I'd like users/readers who extract or use our content to be able to properly reference it. Thanks for any help/advice you can provide

How can I center my author profile in my blog posts horizontally? Right now they are left justified. Thank you! https://www.jenxwebdesign.com/blog/squarespace-blogs-build-trust-audience-google

I'd like to use the marketing campaigns that Squarespace generates for social media posts, but it automatically refers to my business as if it's a team of people, i.e. "Come Visit Us". I want to change it so it automatically say things like "Come Visit Me". Is there a way to change the way Squarespace refers to me as an individual across all its auto generated marketing posts? Thanks.

https://devonvesper.squarespace.com/shop pass: chatzy I'm just coming over from WordPress + WooCommerce where I had print books for sale through Lulu as my print book print-on-demand dropshipper. Is there any such thing I can do on Squarespace where I don't have to store inventory and ship myself or have my customers go to a different site to buy the books? I'd like it to be seamless and check out on my Squarespace storefront like the rest of my products. I don't mind redoing my entire catalog (cries). I'd prefer BookVault, but I'd also go for Lulu since I already have my books up on their site. I'm also open to other suggestions, as well. Thank you so much!

Why Not Give the Customer What They Expect? Surprise Them Instead! In the realm of business, it may be tempting to fulfill customer expectations by providing exactly what they anticipate. However, as an entrepreneur, there is immense value in surprising and delighting your customers with unexpected experiences. By going beyond their expectations, you can forge deeper connections, generate loyalty, and create memorable moments that set you apart from competitors. Imagine a scenario where a customer orders a pizza delivery. Instead of receiving a standard, predictable pizza, they open the box to find a creatively shaped, gourmet pizza with unique toppings that they have never encountered before. This surprise element not only exceeds their expectations but also leaves a lasting impression. The customer is more likely to share their experience with others and become a repeat customer, purely based on the surprise factor. Another example is a clothing retailer offering personalized styling sessions. Instead of simply assisting customers in finding outfits that match their preferences, the retailer surprises them by curating complete looks they would have never considered on their own. This unexpected twist elevates the shopping experience and leaves customers feeling valued and excited about their new wardrobe. By embracing the element of surprise, entrepreneurs can tap into customers' emotions and create a sense of wonder and excitement. These experiences generate positive word-of-mouth, organically attracting new customers and enhancing brand reputation. Surprising customers doesn't have to be limited to product offerings. Exceptional customer service can also be a powerful tool for leaving a lasting impression. Going the extra mile to provide personalized recommendations, unexpected perks, or even handwritten thank-you notes can leave customers feeling genuinely appreciated and valued. In summary, breaking away from the predictable and surpassing customer expectations through surprises can significantly impact your business. By delighting customers with unique products, unexpected experiences, and exceptional service, you create memorable moments that foster loyalty, generate positive word-of-mouth, and set your brand apart. Embrace the opportunity to surprise and exceed expectations, and watch your business thrive.

I am wondering if it would be possible to include the author's image to the right of the author's name at the very top of each blog post? I found code that allowed you to place the author bio below the title, but it doesn't look great and there is too much white space. I don't need to have the full bio either. Just looking to place the circular image next to the name. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I created a new website since the trial has expired. (bought a domain) I have this new account, with a new website I created and I wanted to transfer domain I own but it won't let me. So I made the old account (where the trial has expired/which is using the domain) as Administrator of this new website.. still won't work.. Does anyone have the same problem as mine? How to fix it? Thank you

In 7.1, if you click on a tag or author name, you basically see the exact same page as the parent collection page but with the filtered results. Unlike 7.0, there is no visual indicator (i.e. text) to tell you what exactly changed and how your results were filtered. Am I missing something or is there a way to display how exactly you filtered, such as with a "Filtered by tag XXX" in 7.1?

I am looking for a blog review option so a guest blogger can preview the blog post prior to publishing it. I do not want the guest blogger to have any other access to the back end of the site - just the ability to preview the particular blog post(s) they are contributing to confirm it is good to publish. Is there a way to password protect an individual blog post for preview? Is there an option that will allow a guest blogger to only review their particular blog post(s) and not give them access to content from other guest bloggers? NOTE: Guest bloggers have already been added to the site as basic authors so I can designate each guest blogger as the author of their particular blog post(s). I considered password protection for a blog post, however, I am only seeing an option to password protect a blog page - not a particular post within that page. Additionally, I considered giving access to bloggers as contributors instead of as a basic author, but doing so will give access to additional content that I do not want a guest to have on the site (i.e. access to other guest bloggers' posts and content).

Hi, I'd like to sell ebooks directly to readers from my website (upgraded to Commerce shortly), have them pay through PayPal (or another credit card processor), and have the ebooks delivered through BookFunnel. Is there a step-by-step explanation of the process? Has anyone done this? What are the pitfalls should I look for? Anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

What's the best template to use for a novelist/screenwriter website? An author friend used the old Margot template, which I like, but I believe is discontinued. I'm up for any suggestions. Thanks!

Hi folks, Might someone be able to tell me how I change the font in the blog Author Bio (that is shown at the bottom of each post) perchance? Many thanks, Lee.

Hello, I would like to enlarge the size of the author photo on my 7.1 site and move it to the left of the bio, instead of above it. I'd also love the option to have it be square instead of circle. I've tried a few things but haven't cracked it. Has anyone done this successfully? Here's the site if it's helpful (still in development): https://triceratops-maroon-kxrm.squarespace.com/ pw: nailed Thank you!

I'm looking for some simple CSS to hide the hyperlink when hovering over the name and bio image in the Author Profile at the end of each blog post. By default, when hovering over the name and the bio image, SQS links to the blog page. I don't want any hyperlink on the bio name or image. If that's not possible - then CSS to change the default hyperlink to another page on the site. Thank you!

I'm building a family website. I need to give family members the ability to add photos and text updates, like an extended family blog so everyone can keep updated. Does anyone have any suggestions, or a widget? Thank you in advance, James

I imported blog content from a WordPress site, which resulted in multiple blank author profiles to show up on our blog. The names that are seen in this screenshot are the only people that have access to this site. How can I remove those blank lines entirely?

I want to list an author and date at the top of each blog post. Ideally, I wanted to add my author bio so I could have a brief description but don't see a way to do that since I have 3 websites and I only see one main author bio to edit. My next best option was to have the author name and date at the top of the posts, which I do now, but I want the author name to link to my about page. It sends you to all posts written by me instead which I understand but that is driving me crazy! Any suggestions? I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve updating every blog post individually if possible. The reason I'm adding this is because I was hit hard by the helpful content update and I've read having author information is important. I do have a sidebar that links to my about page but since that is custom code, I'm not sure if it gets crawled in time to be seen. Thanks!

I have a blog page unpublished and have found that whatever circle image I try to upload to the author profile image, it always seems to cut off half the image! (see attached image) any ideas how to fix this?

The frustrating part of my site is that sometimes author bios appear and other times they do not. There seems to be no reason. A good example is https://www.assuredsupport.com.au/articles/a-guide-to-asic-portals. Can anyone explain why this happens sometimes and how I can fix it? It's driving me nuts

Hi! I run a site for the local news outlet Waterbury Roundabout out of Waterbury, VT. We have a number of reporters & community contributors, and as such, many 'basic authors'. When selecting the author for a new blog post, I find that the dropdown of our contributors is completely randomized, neither alphabetical nor chronological. It is alphabetical in 'settings'>'permissions', but not the dropdown for some reason (see photo). Does anyone know of site functionality to alphabetize this list in the dropdown specifically? If not, is this something that Squarespace could address in a future update? It would be a big help - thanks in advance for any tips!

Please see Blog Post Author Sort. This is an experimental Bookmarklet that sorts the Authors. Now when I say experimental nothing bad as far as causing issues with your site will happen. If something did happen visually then a simple reload of the page should do the trick. To use it you need to... Install the code as a bookmark, in your browser. When you hit the page use the... ...to copy the code. Add a basic author with a display name of blog post author sort - twc. Get the author menu of a blog post up on screen, then use the Bookmarklet. Give the code a beat as it takes some time to load and run. blog post author sort bookmarklet.mp4 If you don't know how to add a bookmark to your browser then you should be able to find info on the web how to do it. I think short term a bookmarklet is a good way to go. Ideally, I think, this would be a better job for a Mutation Observer but those are harder to write, especially tinkering with the SS interface as it's not really ideal for semi-semantic targeting of its elements. If you decide to give the bookmarklet a go, let us know how it goes.

I have recently launched a second website which is under a business name. However, when I go to respond to comments, rather than having the business name (Voice in the Dark), it comes up with my personal name. I have changed the author of each blog to Voice in the Dark, so I am not sure why my name is used to comment. Any clues on how I can change this? Thanks
