Why Your Squarespace CSS Works in the Editor But Not the Live Site (Easy Fix)
If your custom CSS in Squarespace 7.1 works perfectly within the editor but nothing shows up on the live site, here's what you can do.
This issue is WAY more common than you’d think, but the tricky part is that Squarespace’s Custom CSS Window doesn’t flag this error as an error. So you can't pinpoint what is going on.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you the way that I diagnose this specific kind of problem and fix it, in less than 5 minutes.
Let’s get into it.
