There are a few different ways that you can make the header transparent in Squarespace. One way is to use the Page Header Injection Code block. This code block allows you to add custom CSS to your site, which you can use to make the header transparent.

3. Click on the + sign next to the Page Header area and select Injection from the drop-down menu. 4. Paste the following code into the Injection Code text box:

/*–Make Header Transparent–*/
header#header {background-color: transparent;}

5. Click Save and then Preview to see how your site looks with a transparent header.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that making the header transparent in Squarespace can cause some unexpected issues. For example, your header may become distorted or your text may become difficult to read. Additionally, this change may not be compatible with all Squarespace templates. Proceed with caution and make sure to test your changes before making them live on your site.

1. Create a new file in a text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit.

2. Paste the following code into the file and save it as “custom.css” in your computer’s Documents folder:

/*–Make Header Transparent–*/
header#header {background-color: transparent;}

3. Upload the custom.css file to your Squarespace site. To do this, go to Settings > Advanced > Files and click on the + sign next to “Upload a File.” Choose custom.css from your computer’s Documents folder and click Upload File.

4. Once the file has been uploaded, go to Settings > Advanced > External API and check the box next to “Enable Custom CSS.” 5. Save your changes and then Preview your site to see how it looks with a transparent header.

Conclusion: There are two main ways that you can make the header transparent in Squarespace – by using the Page Header Injection Code block or by using a custom CSS file.
