loylabel Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hello, I need help fixing an issue. I connected my squarespace domain to my godaddy domain the problem is when I click ANY link on my website (besides the /homepage) it shows the squarespace domain in the address bar not my own domain as pictures below shows... is there an easy fix to this or I will have to manually change ALL links?

What you'll want to do is change all of the links to just include the URL slug. Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you. Cheers!

Ziggy Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I can see it working, and it looks like I was correct about this statement: The reason this is happening is that you may have used the full Squarespace domain for each of the links, this is typically considered bad practice as it forces the page to reload rather than just load the new page. What you'll want to do is change all of the links to just include the URL slug. You need to change links (for example) from this: https://flute-paddlefish-shcc.squarespace.com/luxury-doors to this: /luxury-doors On your website you should never be internally linking with external type links.

It's actually much easier to just add the slug rather than the entire link since Squarespace allow you to start typing and then they give you the page title to click to add the link, much easier than copying and pasting the entire page URL!

Good luck! After I repeated the connection process its taking a long time to finish, is it normal ziggy? the first time was pretty fast. Below a picture of the squarespace domain settings and godaddy records. Link to comment
Ziggy Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It can take up to 72 hours, as stated in the Squarespace settings, though it is often much quicker. It looks like you have all of the records in Godaddy. Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you. Cheers!

Can I just download the sitemap.xml and change all the links there and then upload to squarespace? Link to comment
