Lim Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Hi I got this error message saying "Error parsing Custom CSS, verify Custom CSS is valid" on my blog page editing and also events and I suppose any pages which when I want to do editing. What can I do ? I did not change any custom code and will definitely not touch any part of it as I think that may break the entire site and I have no developers to help me in this as I'm managing the site myself. Please help! Link to comment
paul2009 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) When you see this message, go back to Design > Custom CSS and look for errors in your code. If you aren't familiar with code or have added code that you found online, I recommend that you remove it, save it somewhere safe (not on Squarespace) and save your changes. You can then check to see if this has cleared the error. If the error persists, please contact Squarespace Customer Care directly for assistance with the platform. Did this help?

Lim Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I have went to the Custom CSS page of my own site but there are no parts that have red error messages. I was directed by them to here to seek assistance. Just find it utterly unhelpful and extremely distressing. I have attached here in the private youtube video the entire run through of my CSS custom code but there are no error red messages. What other ways are there to help? SOS!!!!

Lopa Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Hi , I got the similar message and the same issues and being directed here. "Error parsing Custom CSS, verify Custom CSS is valid". I am clueless how to resolve as I manintain the site on my own too Link to comment
Lim Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hi Paul Thank you so much for all the guidance. I will save my CSS code but I don't think I will dare to delete everything and then slowly put back, its too stressful because my site runs on the custom code. I have already feedback to the Squarespace customer care. I believe its issue on their side because I have not touch anything and one day the error message just pop up. I would not risk breaking my whole site because of their backend issue. Link to comment
mikeyk Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I have the same error coming up.. I assume its' an error on Squarespace's end as it seems many people are reporting the same problem of late? Link to comment
Lim Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 I also think its Squarespace side. But the way they resolve this problem is disappointing as I feel the support is weak and they just brush us to forum to seek out solutions on our own without looking further into what may be causing the issue on their end.

peterboxall Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I also have this issue. It seems obvious given the proliferation of the problem that it's a backend issue so what are squarespace doing?! Link to comment
taoofpo Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I'm having this issue too. When will this error be corrected? Link to comment

It may appear this way, but where I have been asked to check sites with this error, all the sites had genuine code issues that required correction or removal 🙂 Edited November 25, 2022 by paul2009 Improve your online store with our extensions.About: Squarespace Circle Leader since 2017.
