NaomiDunford Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hi there - I'm setting up a new site and I chose a template to play around with, and then decided that I wanted to switch to a different one (Harman). It doesn't seem like there's a way to do this. Squarespace help says "you don't need to change anything, you can just customize." But the Harman template is completely different than the one I started with. Which looks like it means I'd have to change EVERYTHING to make it match Harman (and guess at what to change along the way). Am I missing something? Thanks! Link to comment
tuanphan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It looks like Harman belong Squarespace 7.1 "In version 7.1, all sites share the same template family, with the same features and style options, so there's no need to switch templates. The design you select when you create your 7.1 site is a starting point. You can always switch to a different look or add different page types without starting over" https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205815598-Switching-templates Email me if you have need any help (free, of course.).

derricksrandomviews Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 If your site is 7.0 it is not easy to move to a different template family. You can change templates and the new one is not active until you are ready, but it may require almost a rebuild. Some folks just start a new trial build the site all the way, activate it with the same billing and account info then move the domain, cancel the old site. Link to comment
NaomiDunford Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thank you @tuanphan - one of the challenges I have right now is that some of these 7.1 template are so different from each other that if I'm not happy with the one I've been working with so far, I would have to change *everything* about the theme manually to make it look like one of the other template. So if I'm thinking, "Wow, I wish I selected Rivoli instead of Harman", do I need to reverse engineer every element of the template to make it look like the other one? Am I way off on this? Am I wrong about something? I'm new, so I could be totally dumb about this (and would love to find out that I am!). Thanks! Link to comment
nascence Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 How do you find what version of SquareSpace you have? My design menu does not show Style or Template. Link to comment
