Squarespace Installation

Add Simple Commenter to your Squarespace site using the Code Injection feature.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Open Code Injection

1. Go to your Squarespace Dashboard
2. Click Settings in the left menu
3. Click Advanced
4. Select Code Injection

2. Add the Script

1. In the Footer field, paste:

<script
  src="https://simplecommenter.com/js/comments.min.js"
  data-domain="your-domain.com"
  defer
></script>

2. Click Save

Using Your Squarespace Domain

If using a Squarespace subdomain:

<script
  src="https://simplecommenter.com/js/comments.min.js"
  data-domain="yoursite.squarespace.com"
  defer
></script>

If using a custom domain:

<script
  src="https://simplecommenter.com/js/comments.min.js"
  data-domain="www.yourdomain.com"
  defer
></script>

Adding to Specific Pages

Squarespace allows page-level code injection:

1. Open the page you want to modify
2. Click the gear icon for Page Settings
3. Click Advanced
4. Add the script in the Page Header Code Injection field
5. Save

Using a Code Block (Alternative)

For more control over placement:

1. Edit your page
2. Add a Code Block at the bottom
3. Paste the script
4. Uncheck "Display Source" if visible
5. Save

Verifying Installation

1. Save your changes
2. View your live site (not the editor)
3. Look for the feedback widget button
4. Check browser Developer Tools (F12) for errors

Troubleshooting

Widget not appearing

• Verify Code Injection is available on your plan (Business or higher)
• Ensure you saved the changes
• Clear your browser cache
• Check you're viewing the live site, not editor preview

Code Injection not available

• Upgrade to a Business or Commerce plan
• Personal plans don't have Code Injection

Widget conflicts with Squarespace elements

• Try adding the script to the Header instead of Footer
• Check for other scripts that might conflict
• Ensure no duplicate widgets are installed

Member-only pages

The widget works on member-protected pages. It will load after the user accesses the protected content.
