Why custom CSS is not working?

Hello,

I am fairly new to Squarespace, however this is the first real "impossible" issue that I've run into.

I would like to add a bottom border to the first section of my website. There are plenty of tutorials on this, however none of them actually work for me. I've tested the below CSS on multiple websites and it doesn't work on any of them. Is this code simply out of date?

section[data-section-id="62545a717950610f6036f8a8"]{
  border-bottom: 20px solid red;
}

Of course, that is the section id for the one on my site, however it does not work on any sections on any of my sites. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could let me know if there is a new/alternative method of achieving a bottom border on a section.

Thank you!

CSS is not working for me either. I wonder if it's a global issue?

A site I am designing is not previewing custom CSS in the editor view. When I click save and visit the site as a viewer in another tab, I can then see the CSS. I'm glad the code is working but it's making this customization extremely time consuming. Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it?

Thanks for confirming, I appreciate the reply. It must be, that's really the only explanation I can think of as well. Hopefully this is resolved soon or someone else can provide a solution to this issue.

Folks please post the URL for a page on your site where we can see your issue.

If your site is not public please set up a site-wide password, if you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site. Please read the documentation at the link provided to understand how it works.

Please read the documentation at the link provided on how to share a link to your site to understand how it works. A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

We can then take a look at your issue.

Hi,

I have a new issue that I've never had before where the CSS is working on the live website but not on the "custom css" page when I'm configuring the website.

Custom CSS Page:


Live:

How should I go about solving this issue?

Appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks,
Daniel

I can confirm there is currently an issue with the preview pane on Squarespace 7.1 sites that is preventing CSS from being previewed correctly whilst editing the site.

It has been reported to Squarespace's Engineering team, and they’re currently prioritizing the issue.

Note that you can report issues with the platform directly to Squarespace using this link.

Got it, thanks for getting back to us. I will certainly submit a proper report next time. Appreciate all you do! Have a great weekend!

Hello,

I just had this problem pop up today as I was adding some CSS to my website. I have tried clearing cache, using alternate browsers, removing all CSS and entering various code one at a time, and still nothing. All of the code I had in there just stopped working all-together.

EDIT: I just read where Squarespace was having trouble with CSS at the moment. I will wait a bit and maybe they will sort it out.

EDIT #2: I opened a ticket and SS confirmed it was something that was wrong with the CSS editor on their end. In my case, it had to be escalated to an engineer. I am still waiting on a fix but they said that they would notify me through email once the issue had been resolved. If there is any additional information that I can provide after I get the response, I will certainly add that information here.

Cheers!

Hey guys, 
I've had an issue all day where I can no longer live preview CSS on any of my sites. 
I've contacted Squarespace but they have given the usual 'we don't support css edits' response. 

I'm hoping it's just a temporary glitch but I can't do any work on client sites today. 

Anyone have the same issue?

Yes. some CSS work on editing mode only.

EG. If you use CSS background image with this url format "/s/image.png" it won't work. >>> Need to change to fullurl. Something like this: yourdomain.com/s/image.png

There's currently a bug with Custom CSS in preview, and this could be affecting what you see. Please take a look at this thread:

Hi, thanks for your response. how much time will it take to get resolved?

Unfortunately, it's still not working and has severely slowed progress of a new website project.  Is there a place that we can track the status of issues?

Not just 7.1, it's happening in 7.0 as well. Hope they fix this quickly!

Yes, exactly, I hope they fix it soon because it is very annoying and makes the usability of the web very difficult

Squarespace have a status page but they only publish details of major outages,  they consider to be serious issues, connectivity outages, checkout failures and so on.

I have created a thread where Circle members can share details of bugs and changes whenever they are discovered as well as fixes. As a Circle member, you'll find it here.

Do you know when the problem will be solved?

Thank you paul2009!!

Hi there,

New to the forums. A few questions regarding the CSS bug.

1. CSS isn't working for me period, even when I view the site logged out in an incognito window. Is this the same issue? I saw tips suggesting it should work to view that way. 

2. Should I report the issue as well? Not sure if it helps to have more people reporting it, or once it is a known issue is it better to just wait?

3. I'm supposed to launch a client site today and not sure if I should delay launch. I'm surprised how long its taken to fix such a major issue. Anyone know if this is normal for fixing an issue like this? 

Thank you!
