| Apr 4, 2016 at 11:53 | comment | added | Lauren Basser | @hsawires it worked! I realised I was placing the code into css like a noob. I didn't want to enable the developer platform as this (to my understanding) would mean that I would need to code the entire site, however I figured out that i needed to place the code in the code injection under settings > advanced. Thank you so much for all your help! | |
| Apr 3, 2016 at 12:38 | comment | added | hsawires | @LaurenBasser What software are you using for editing html to gives you that error? ... I what I meant of restructuring your html is to add 4 DIVs as a main container instead of the body. | |
| Apr 2, 2016 at 23:16 | comment | added | Lauren Basser | Thank you @hsawires for answering my question. when i put this into the custom css it says 'syntax error on line 1' - i understand this is a html but I'm not sure where to place the code? i.e. how to 'restructure my html body'? | |

@CAI The way I remember it, by default it gives you the active theme to be edited, when you enable it. First paragraph after the heading: 1. Choose a Starting Point, seems to be saying the same thing.

| Apr 1, 2016 at 11:23 | comment | added | Cai | @Joonas I've never used it so I don't know but from what I read it sounded like you can only use the developer platform to create your own themes and not with their pre-made themes. I may be wrong though. | |
| Apr 1, 2016 at 11:20 | comment | added | Joonas | @CAI Squarespace actually gives you quite a bit of control. I only once briefly scouted out if Squarespace was any good, so I can't remember exact details, but I believe you need to enable Developer Platform and then you can edit html and css. I liked the way Squarespace templates were pretty clean. | |

Actually.. You should probably do it with pseudo-elements anyway, unless those divs already exist and mean something.

| Apr 1, 2016 at 9:28 | comment | added | Cai | as far as im aware you cant edit the HTML on squarespace's premade templates (you can on your own templates).. you could do the same thing with pseudo-elements if you dont have access to the HTML | |
