UtopiaCreates Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just curious, is there a SEO or other technical reason that a text box defaults to Paragraph 2 (P2) for text boxes instead of P1 (Paragraph 1)? Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted July 27, 2021 Solution Share Posted July 27, 2021 By setting the middle option (P2) to be the default option for standard paragraph text, it allows you to add text that is larger (P1) or smaller (P3) than this without using custom code. There's no technical or SEO reason for the names, they are just used for simplicity in the Rich Text Editor (RTE). They won't appear in the page markup - the part that the browser/search engine/site visitor sees - and so won't influence SEO differently. In the markup, all three will appear as "<p>". Squarespace just adds the class 'sqsrte-large' or 'sqsrte-small' for the non-standard options P1 and P3 respectively. UtopiaCreates 1 Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

Sjeanjaquet Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Is there a way to change it so that P1 is the standard? I've created my site off of this and have been frustrated that I have to keep changing it from P2 to P1. Next site I build I'll take care of this issue so that I set p2 as the standard but for this one I was hoping for an easy global setting fix... if there is one Link to comment

Janet-CA Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I wish that there were a way to keep the formatting from the previous paragraph instead of having to manually set it every time if you start a new paragraph and you don't want P2. Link to comment

Squarespace's UI choice on this is dumbfounding! I don't know what word processors their UI people grew up using. I've never used one that automatically changes the font on you when you start a new paragraph. As a workaround you can type shift-return which will prevent the new paragraph and then at the end of editing go back and type return before each new paragraph.

stickarch Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 @creedon "Dumbfounding." I couldn't agree more. Thanks for that workaround. That's a lifesaver. Or a sanity saver, more like. Link to comment
