Squarespace Troubleshooting Guide
Contents
Login and Access Issues
Problem: Can't log into Squarespace account
Check if you're using the correct email address (the one used during setup)
Try password reset at login.squarespace.com
Clear your browser cache and cookies
Try logging in from an incognito/private browser window
If still stuck, check if your subscription is current
Problem: Can't find the edit button
Make sure you're logged into your Squarespace account first
Visit your website URL while logged in
Look for the "Edit" button in the top-left corner
If using mobile, switch to desktop view for full editing capabilities
Content Editing Problems
Problem: Text won't save or keeps reverting
Click away from the text block after editing to auto-save
Wait for the "Saved" indicator before navigating away
Check your internet connection stability
Try refreshing the page and re-editing if changes didn't stick
Problem: Images appear blurry or pixelated
Upload images at least 1500px wide for best quality
Use JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency
Compress large files before uploading (aim for under 500KB per image)
Replace low-resolution images with high-resolution versions
Problem: Gallery images not displaying correctly
Ensure all images are similar aspect ratios for grid galleries
Check that images are properly uploaded (not just dragged)
Try switching gallery layout styles if current one isn't working
Refresh the page after making gallery changes
Design and Layout Fixes
Problem: Website looks different on mobile
Use Squarespace's mobile preview to check your changes
Avoid using too many custom CSS modifications
Keep text sizes readable (minimum 16px for body text)
Test navigation menus work properly on smaller screens
Remember that some desktop features automatically adjust for mobile
Problem: Spacing looks off between sections
Use section spacing controls in the design panel
Check padding settings for individual blocks
Ensure consistent spacing by using the same settings across similar sections
Preview changes before publishing
E-Commerce Specific Issues
Problem: Products not showing up
Check that products are set to "Available" status
Verify products are assigned to the correct categories
Make sure product pages are connected to navigation
Check inventory settings aren't set to zero
Problem: Payment issues
Confirm Stripe or PayPal integration is still connected
Check that tax settings are configured correctly
Verify shipping options are set up properly
