Let's talk Squarespace block IDs. Ever feel like you're in a secret club, but nobody gave you the decoder ring?
I get it. Finding those sneaky IDs can feel like searching for a matching sock in the dryer abyss.
The "Inspect Element" Adventure
Okay, this is where things get a *little* technical. But trust me, even if you think "HTML" sounds like a scary monster, you can do this.
Right-Click and Dive In
First, visit the page with the block you're after. Now, right-click (or control-click on a Mac) directly on the block. A magical menu will appear!
Look for something that says "Inspect" or "Inspect Element." Click it. Don't panic when the screen suddenly fills with code. It's not as scary as it looks!
This is where the browser developer tools open up.
The Code Maze
Now, prepare for a little visual scan. Look for a line of code that starts with `
An Unpopular Opinion (Probably)
I'm just going to say it. Should Squarespace just display block IDs somewhere obvious? Yes. Absolutely. Is that too much to ask?
Unpopular opinion: Squarespace should just show block IDs. No digging required!
The "JavaScript Snippet" Trick
Feeling adventurous? There's a way to reveal all the block IDs on a page at once. It involves a little JavaScript.
The Code Injection Tango
Head over to your Squarespace settings. Find the "Code Injection" area. This is where you can add little snippets of code to your whole site, or individual pages.
Copy and paste the following code into the footer of the page you're working on:
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var blocks = document.querySelectorAll('.sqs-block');
blocks.forEach(function(block) {
if (block.id) {
console.log(block.id);
}
});
}
</script>
Save your changes.
Checking the Console
Now, reload the page. Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect" again. This time, look for a tab called "Console" in the developer tools.
You should see a list of all the block IDs displayed there. Boom! All the block IDs in one place.
Why Bother?
So, why jump through these hoops? Well, sometimes you need block IDs for custom CSS or JavaScript tweaks. They let you target specific blocks and make them do amazing things.
Or maybe you're just a curious cat. And there's nothing wrong with that!
A Final Thought
Finding block IDs in Squarespace can feel a bit like solving a puzzle. But with a little patience (and maybe a strong cup of coffee), you'll crack the code in no time.
Remember, even the pros Google things. We've all been there! Don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with it.
