7.1 Disable Script in Edit Mode

Go to solution Solved by creedon,

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well,

I'm encountering a peculiar issue with the Editor. I've inserted a code block with a few lines of jQuery that dynamically hide a couple of sections on my homepage. I've deliberately put this script in a code block and not as code injection, so that the Editor would disable it while I'm working on the site.

But Squarespace inconveniently loads the script when I'm in the Editor instead of showing me the Safe Mode notification -_-

Do you know how to prevent this from happening?

 

Cheers,

Marina

Is is possible you turned on Preview in Safe Mode?

See Disable scripts in preview (If the disable scripts message doesn't appear automatically, step 1).

Let us know how it goes.

I also had an issue where my entire site crashed and couldn't even disable scripts in the editor, no matter what I tried.

My fix was to, very quickly, run this from dev tools console after the square space editor loaded to remove the site preview iframe:

$('#sqs-site-frame').remove()

Hope this helps someone!

You can put your site into a "safe mode" that prevents custom code from loading by adding "/safe" to the URL like this: https://your-site.squarespace.com/config/safe/
