Site URL: https://www.notsostock4x4.com/shop Hi, so I have items that are exclusive to one category, and I do not want those items to show up on the All category page for my shop. That page is auto-created by Squarespace and the items automatically go there. I have searched and searched to try and remove the item from the All category, but leave them in their own special category, but I can't find a way to do that. Is there any possible way to do that with code or am I missing a setting? I don't want the item to be hidden because I want it to be active. Hopefully this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there, I just got my first SS site up for my wife and about to start on mine, which will include an array of categories/topics and tags (I am about to purchase another paid subscription) After alot of reading, it seems like limiting categories and tags is best for SEO according to this article. My site will have Blog Posts, Podcast, and other Media that I would like to be able to filter by Category/Topic/Theme but as well as by Bible Reference, like book of bible + chapter, i.e , Psalm 50, or John 15, etc. I want to organize my site as best as I can from the beginning. Examples Posts: Post written on Psalms 42-46 with each Psalm tagged (i.e. #psalm 42 , #psalm46, etc. in addition to a some more metadata and topics or themes such as #book2 , #psalmsofkorah #refuge Many posts will just be on one passage, but include a a few themes My Goal: to strike a balance between well organized easily findable content + SEO. A few questions in light of this (1) Organizing How many Categories should a post have? Only 1? More than one? Should I have a tag for each reference, which would including two elements, "book of bible + chapter"? What are pros/cons to organizing "Media" within a Media page as opposed to using the "Blog" area and inserting the media within a new post? I liked what I saw regarding a 3rd party plugin "Universal Filter" and can see that that would be very helpful for organizing content on the site. I am not familiar with plugins, is this encouraged, dangerous, etc.? Pros/Cons to using only tags? Are Categories necessary? If I was to only use tags, are there SS functionality limitations that I am not aware of yet (very new user). (2) SEO Is it recommended to hide from search engines "All tag pages in this collection" option? Is it recommended to have fewer categories but more tags? Or does it really not matter if "hide from search engines" its used correctly? Really appreciate any guidance or direction. Thanks so much everyone.

Site URL: https://opossum-lily-kg6a.squarespace.com/config/ This applies to STORE CATEGORIES. I am trying to make the categories navigation menu into a drop down menu upon hover. Does anyone know the code for that and where to place it? Thank you in advance!

Site URL: https://news.smu.ca/news/category/Community As I'm sure most of you are aware, there are dynamic category pages generated automatically for every category. These pages feature a list of all the category posts with their full content. I used CSS to remove all the content but the headline and the date and let users link through to the full post by clicking the headline. I almost positive that until recently the headlines for those posts linked to the individual post pages. Now they don't, but weirdly the date links to the individual posts. Anybody else run into this? I've had to revert to showing all the content for each post on the category pages, but I don't like it.

Site URL: https://www.lodestonetrainingandconsulting.com Is there a way to limit discounts so that they are applied only once in an order, even if there are two eligible items? We give a free seminar code to certain students, so the discount is connected to any products in the Seminar category. If our customer uses the code and has more than one seminar in the order, the discount is applied to all Seminars in their order instead of just one. I have tried using a 100% off discount, as well as an Amount Off discount (in the amount of one seat in a Seminar). Setting the Discount for a single product doesn't help because if they purchase more than one seat in the same Seminar, the discount is taken off both seats. I also limit it to one use, but i guess that applies to one order, not one item? Any help, or a viable work-around would be greatly appreciated.

Site URL: https://marigold-crane-bhtr.squarespace.com/ Hi all, I'm wondering if on the category page (i.e. Dance) I can display sub categories or tags which will then filter the blog posts. Similar to this website https://pointemagazine.com/category/cross-training, they have the category Health & Body and then sub-categories 'ask amy', 'higher ed', 'view all', etc... Is this possible with Squarespace, will I need custom code? I know I can add an archive blog with tags or categories but those will be tags across all the categories. I'd like them to be on the category page and then filter by the three sub-categories.

Site URL: https://www.wanderlustnursery.com/shop/products Hey folks! I'm hoping this is an easy one for the hive mind here. I'd like to include a link on my main product page to a filtered list that only shows products that are not sold out. I'm not trying to hide the label, but actually filter the product blocks entirely. I can't seem to find a way to do this out of the box... Here's the site: https://www.wanderlustnursery.com/shop/products

Site URL: https://capier-investments.webflow.io/portfolio-3 Hey all, I wish to create filtering options exactly as the URL : https://capier-investments.webflow.io/portfolio-3 I want the design to be the same as well as the functionality ie the ability to apply multiple filters. The only difference will be instead of 3 there will be 4 filtering options. Please let me know squarespace options or any resources that will be help me achieve this. Thank you

Site URL: https://www.cottoncashmerecathair.com/ I have discovered via search console that Google is indexing my archive pages, categories, and tags over individual blog posts, which means my site is not showing up in search results when it should be. How can I tell Google not to index those pages and instead index the blog posts? I read in other posts here that you can inject code, but how do I inject code for pages that aren't in my navigation? I also know about canonical links but they confuse me; is that something I do in search console? How does one go about setting those? Any insight/tips would be much appreciated!

Site URL: https://www.qnb-tuebingen.de/energieberaterinnen I would like to display the tags of a blogpost within the blogpost. I want them to be "listed" in the middle of the text. As I see it, I need a code block and custom css for this. I don't really know how to do it, though. This is how a blogpost should look like: Background: I use Squarespace to create a search system for our partner network (energy and building related). For this I use the blog system, because it allows practical features like categories/tags, excerpts and easy listing. I use the categories as exact job titles (energy consultant, carpenter, heating construction, electrical engineering etc.) and the tags for concrete services (construction planning, energy consulting, termography etc.). Our customers can now search for specific services or professions and get a list of all the craftsmen for that category/tag in our network. So for my purposes, the blogposts are profiles where the services offered should be listed. You can look up the site and the profils aka blogposts, but it is in German. Here is a list of energy conultant profiles (using summary blogs). https://www.qnb-tuebingen.de/energieberaterinnen I am grateful for any help!

Hi guys, I need to build a job board on my squarespace site which advertises jobs from external sites. It's basically a list of links which should be filterable by pre-defined tags and categories. I would like to display it in a similar style like the blog post summaries. Main requirements: - Option to add individual categories and tags - Redirect to an external page link when people click on the ad - Option to filter the job ads - No item limit -> I tried using the squarespace blog and the universal filter to build a workaround but it has a 30 items limit and it's also a lot of effort to administrate. I've also checked out the job board plug in by elfsight but unfortunately it doesn't have a filter option and does not allow me to change the button text or category names. Do you have a suggestion for a good plug in that I could use?

Hi everybody, I'm working on a website for a small-scale music label and we'd like to have a page that acts as an archiveand as a central place to download the music. The problem is that we'd like to be able to categorize and sort by various categories, like mood, tempo, genre and so on. Is there a way to do this in SquareSpace? I know products can be sorted by category using commerce, but we already use that option to sell products and we don't want to mix songs and products into our product page. Right now we just have a bunch of sub-sites and hyperlinks, which is not dynamic at all and doesn't look great, you click on, for example, mood, and then on the mood you want and get redirected to the according site, which is a) painstakingly slow for the user and b) not very dynamic since we need to upload quite a large amount of songs that often have multiple categories that would apply to them. For reference, if you scroll down a little on https://artlist.io/ you get a overview of their songs and have the option to sort on the left, that's roughly the functionality I'd like to implement. I'm thinking some sort of database would be able to fix this, however I'm not very knowledgeable in that area, I have little experience with mySQL, but not enough to set up something totally custom. Any ideas? Many thanks, Julian

Site URL: https://imnworld.squarespace.com/ On the above website - password is: password I'm looking for a few changes. Under the “Region” dropdown, we have: - Europe - International - North America - Symphony We need to take out “Symphony” and make it its own category. This is because users may want to choose a Region AND Symphony in some cases. So instead of the current two elements, we will need a third for “Symphony.” Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

Site URL: https://www.compas.org/artists Hello, We're an arts education provider and use our web store as a catalog of hirable artists. We use an archive block at the top of the page to allow users to sort the "products" by category, but in the last 24 hours, we've had some weird issues with the archive block. On the backend editor, the block will sometimes show up as completely empty (see attached image), and on the front end, it will disappear completely. I was unable to get a screen capture of what the page looks like when the archive block is missing, but I've attached an image of what it should look like. Is this a known issue? Anything we can do about this? Thank you!

Site URL: https://www.giftandcrate.com.au/shop I have my site set up with the product categories enabled as a sidebar. It was working perfectly before the weekend but now the category links have disappeared. They should be in black on the left hand side of the products. I does not matter whether I enable them in sidebar or at the top I see nothing, not even evidence that the link is there but just the same colour as the background. How do I get them back?

Site URL: http://www.bighousecards.com Trying to find a little code to change the 7.1 store mobile or both view to be a category dropdown vs. a scrolling list to the right or left. The average person wouldn't know to scroll categories. Took me a while to figure it out thinking my categories were not being displayed. Really appreciate any assistance as this is an annoying issue and I really don't want to change versions just for this. Thank you Ryan

Site URL: https://www.thedaring.co/blog/category/Art Hi everyone, In Squarespace 7.1, when a reader clicks a category link (screenshot attached), I'd like them to see that category text at the top of the filtered list of content they're served. Right now, they are seeing the general blog header (screenshot attached), which can be disorienting. Has anyone figured out a way to do this? Many thanks, Ioana
