Sibylle_Zurich Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hi there I am building a simple site with two blogs (one is Journal and the other one Referenzen). I want to have different settings regarding style, meta tags, image size etc. The styling seems to copy over from the other blog and I don't want this. I would like to be able to style each page separately. For example Referenzen should not display excerpt, read more link and no meta content for date. https://nuvu-gallery.squarespace.com/ PW: nuvu2022 Thanks for your help. Link to comment

creedon Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Quote The styling seems to copy over from the other blog and I don't want this. Your observation is spot on. Most of the collections types (Blog, Store, and etc.) share settings across their collection types. So if you change one, all the others change as well. When a collection has layouts, as does the Blog page, you can have two Blogs each using different layouts and those two blogs will be independant layout wise. But if you have two Blog pages each one using a Grid layout for example then those two blogs will share layout settings. Changes made in one, will be applied to the other. It is very unfortunate that SS doesn't provide master settings and then allow for each page to override the master settings. Find my contributions useful?

Hi @Beyondspace. Thanks for trying. Yes, all the general styling settings I set up in the Edit Section. Unfortunately, I still have the problem that if I change something in one blog, the other one gets changed as well. Link to comment

It is very important to my client, that this two pages look differently. Thanks, Sibylle Link to comment

Unfortunately, I still have the problem that if I change something in one blog, the other one gets changed as well. As @creedon mentioned before, all blog posts on a collection share the some style. It means that when you change one blog post, it will affect other too. One approach we can consider is using the Css to target each Item and set the appropriate Tool to get the page id: Squarespace ID Finder http://recordit.co/qwnj09oNCa BeyondSpace - Squarespace Website Developer 🖼️ Lightbox Studio (Enable Pinch/Zoom on lightbox) 🗓️ Delivery Date Picker (Squarespace Date format) 💫 Animated Buttons (Referral URL) 🥳 Sparkplugin Customisations Browsers (Browse +100 Spark plugin customisations) 🥳 Elfsight Template Browsers (Browse +1000 Elfsight widget Templates) If you find my answer useful, let's leave a like or upvote so others with the same issue can find their solution.

creedon Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Quote Do you know any workaround for my problem? I'm not aware of a solution but as @Beyondspace mentions we may be able to help with some CSS. What would help us is if you could detail the two different layout settings you want to use for each Blog page. You could set up one, take some screenshots of the settings. Then do the same for the alternate layout. Post the screenshots here so we can use them as a potential guide. Be sure to organize the images so that we know which batch of images are for which desired layout. Two posts might be easier for each group of images. Find my contributions useful?
