Hi all, I am new to squarespace and trying to setup so I can develop locally. I followed the basic beginner guide and finished it but now I want to develop local instead of push to squarespace with git every change. The issue is whenever I run the command squarespace-server http://mywebsite --auth I get this error below that the ampersand character is not allowed. This is from the powershell script in my npm folder. Every other npm script uses node and for some reason squarespace uses echo. Has anyone else had this issue? Does squarespace not support windows 10?

I want to do some changes to the template, save it and ext developer mode. Is that possible?

I was wondering if Mux routers (Gorilla) were supported on Squarespace, and if so, how to use them. Thanks.

Site URL: https://iduma-demo.squarespace.com/ Hi, I'm currently using Iduma theme, and I want to add more element (button) to my header, but it's only showing one button option only. How can I add one more button to header?

Very new to this sort of thing. What's the best template for a news + articles + feature based website. Have no idea how to bring recent articles as links in the homepage for example. Whatculture and bleacher report are examples of the sort of site I would want.

Site URL: https://clementine-tarpon-j5as.squarespace.com/module-1/module-1-2-more-stuff I'm trying to make a custom collection of learning modules, and for each lesson in a module (the equivalent of a blog post in a blog collection), I would like to show a list of navigation links to the other lessons in that module. I've got my module.list and module.item pages for the collection. {.repeated section items} works when I run it module.list, but when I run it in module.item, nothing shows up. How do I access the other items in the collection from within an .item page? The blog page in my template has previous and next buttons on each blog post page, so I think it must be possible, but I don't have access to its code under the hood since it's using the squarespace default blog.

I'm a freelance designer/developer who's still learning some of the ropes. I'm fairly experienced with Wordpress (but still have lots to learn there too!) but am currently working with a client to redesign their Squarespace site. I've learned that unlike with Wordpress or Drupal, there's no support to create a staging site in Squarespace to make major changes without changing (and potentially breaking) the live site. From browsing this forum, I know I'm not the only one who finds that frustrating. Anyway: my client has an existing Squarespace site, and they want a thoroughly redesigned site, also in Squarespace. They'll need a new template, of course, but also some new content (I'm working with them to create some new landing pages), and a completely reorganized navigation structure. Given that, and given Squarespace's limitations for developers, my question is: does it make more sense / is it more of a best practice to: (a) develop the new template design using a different trial site and/or the local development server (which I've played with a little bit), duplicating or creating new individual pages, and then, when it's time to go live, putting a cover page up and doing everything else on the live site while it's down? (like what's described here: https://answers.squarespace.com/questions/67379/how-can-i-redesign-a-clients-site-without-going-live.html) I'm concerned this would put my client's live site down for a while, so I can test everything * with their content * and get their feedback. And it just... feels scary, and kind of insane, compared to how I'd do it in WP, you know? OR, (b) clone all their content, e.g. using the imperfect-but-doable export to WP > export back from WP to SS workaround, developing the redesign on the clone site, and then, when it's time to go live, switching the client's domain to point to the live site? This mostly seems like the safer option, and this is where I'm leaning, but I'm worried I'll end up spending a lot of time spot-checking content, re-uploading blog posts' thumbnail images manually, etc. (And, reader, they have a lot of blog posts.) And it feels like there should be a better way??? OR is there a more sane © that I haven't learned about yet? tl;dr do I need to use clunky import/export workarounds to create a clone site in order to develop a redesign for a client without breaking their live site, or is there a better way? I tried to convince them to move to WP, but it didn't work, so now I'm here. Any guidance appreciated!

I am using the Nueva template and I am using the default Gallery Slideshow. There is not an option to slow down or speed up the transition between two slides. I am trying to find an easy solution using jquery or javascript. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, Where can I find a developer to edit some final touches but knows css to customize a website. I'm looking for a reasonable price. Thanks. Best, Hannah

With developer mode activated, my squarespace site does not render my site with new updates. https://xxxxx.squarespace.com/config/settings/advanced/developer >> Git History verifies that commit has registory in the remote template.git repository Both the FTP and Git repository correctly show the updated version of the file. While, view source code on my production URL (https://www.mydomain.com/1234) shows the prior version of the file, the squarespace version of the URL (https://xxxxx.squarespace.com/1234) shows the updated file. I suspect that this is due to some broken cache mechanism on the squarespace servers. Any suggestions?

Hi! What is the best approach to designing a site for a client? I want to be able to hand over the site in full once complete - should I create a new ID in the client's name or can I build from my own profile and transfer later? Any other tips for a first-client designer? Thanks, Joe

Would like to turn off developer mode for purpose of upgrading Squarespace template to current Squarespace 7.0 or 7.1.

https://www.skp.com.sg/ My website is using a 3rd party filter system which is universal filter. As a result, different category product pages are not indexed as Google Search Console sees it as a (duplicate) Alternate page with proper canonical tag. Please find attached screenshot for Google Search Console error. So for example, Biodegradable products is seen as an alternate page of the main category page https://www.skp.com.sg/food-packaging-all?category=Biodegradable https://www.skp.com.sg/food-packaging-all Solution by Google: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066 Can someone explain how do i make Google Search Console to index these (supposedly duplicate/alternate) pages? (I believe this is hurting my SEO keywords ranking) Is this caused by AJAX loading, if so can how can i solve this while enabling AJAX loading? (Can this be solved by adding a dynamic JSON-LD to each category filter?)

Hi. I can't connect to squarespace-server. I've got this error: Setting file permissions was not successful. What is supposed to have in .squarespace-local-developer, on my global folder? This file is returning an empty object. And my localhost return a 500 from GET. {"code":500,"message":"There was an error processing your request. It has been logged (ID e1a7cfe94d287020)."} Anyone else? Thanks.

Is there any way for me to remove the built-in link rel="canonical" tag from the <head> of a page? Even with developer mode ftp I can't find any files that include that level of code access. Is it possible at all?

Hi, I am having trouble connecting to dev server. I keep getting authentication failed so I am just not sure what password it is they are looking for? My page itself shows me user name and password but the password is covered. Those seem to be the credentials I have to enter in the terminal but I am not sure if I am messing up the password or not because I forgot what it was. Is there a way to change that password or is it the same as my log in password? Thanks

Hello, I have used developer mode and accessed it before. Now I can't seem to. I am trying to go back into it using the steps given by squarspace but after I put git clone url I just get an authentication failed even though it did not give me a chance to authenticate myself (The first time i did it it let me put my email and password to authenticate). This is a weird issue I can't seem to find anyone out there with a similar problem. Is there any potential possibility as to why this is happening? Any leads or ideas would be helpful thank you!

I am building a commerce site for a client and they are going to have literally thousands of products when it is all said and done. I am wondering if and when Squarespace will cut me off because my site is becoming much too large. I don't want to get too far into it and realize that Squarespace is only going to allow a certain number of products or images.

I know there is quite a bit of material on using sqaure space's API and the extensions platform is pretty new, but is there any API documentation on building an extension for squarespace? i would love to build one if at all possible.

Hi all, I am trying to execute API calls from Squarespace , and I was wondering if the dev platform supports XHR request? Has anyone attempted this before? If yes, any working sample code? I am using five template. ** I kept getting error below: [Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) (login, line 0)

Hi, I am creating a web page on squarespace (custom) using the dev mode. I want to make an API call to a program called Splunk from Squarespace but there isn’t much documentation/ not sure if it’s feasible. Is this something you can help with?
