Custom code block is blank

I'm trying to use the custom code block and the editor is coming up blank. The default "Hello World!" text is visible on the page, but nothing in the editing block (see image). Things I have tried that did not fix it:

  • commented out all of my custom code and CSS
  • turned off my browser extensions
  • logged into squarespace on a different browser
  • logged into a different squarespace account

Has anyone else encountered this and did you find a fix? This is the first time I've ever had a problem like this and I'm stumped. Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi! I'm trying to add a code block to my website, however whenever I add the block, the editing box is blank. I can't do anything, add new code or delete the "hello world" code or anything. I've tried 3 different browsers (safari, chrome, firefox) and different pages on my website (home page, about page, blog post pages for example) and it's the same every time.

 

Anyone have a fix for this?

 

Thanks!

This is happening on every single one of my squarespace websites, not just on a specific page. 
I would make a specific customer service report with this, but I have to be frank, I will not sit there and remove every line of code from all of my websites for Squarespace to try and diagnose the issue. Clearly this is an issue on Squarespace's end, but I want to see if anybody else is experiencing this issue today, and whether they have figured out how to get around the problem.

I just got an email from them saying it was working again and I pulled it up on my website and it works! 🙌🏼

I'm having the exact same issue. I spoke with a rep via chat and they were no help. i copied and pasted a code from w3schools and everything was off. I made no alterations to the code.

 

What seemed to work (a little) was going to colors in site styles and making the section background transparent. That's all I know. Any advice would be appreciated.
