PRO TIP: If you are not careful, overriding CSS in Squarespace can break your site. Make sure to backup your site before making any changes, and test your changes thoroughly before publishing them.

As a web designer, you’re probably already familiar with CSS and how it works. CSS is a style sheet language that allows you to control the look and feel of your web pages. But what if you want to override CSS in Squarespace?

Squarespace is a popular website builder that uses CSS to style its pages. However, you can override CSS in Squarespace if you need to.

To do this, you’ll need to access the code of your Squarespace site. You can do this by going to the Settings tab and selecting Code. Once you’re in the code editor, you’ll need to find the CSS file that contains the styles you want to override.

Once you’ve found the CSS file, you can add your own CSS rules. These rules will take precedence over the Squarespace CSS rules. This means that if there’s a conflict, your rules will be used instead of the Squarespace rules.

You can also add !important to your CSS rules. This will make sure that they’re always used, even if there’s a conflict with Squarespace’s CSS rules.

Adding your own CSS rules is a great way to customize your Squarespace site. However, it’s important to remember that overriding CSS can have unintended consequences. Make sure to test your site after adding or overriding any CSS rules.

So there you have it! You now know how to override CSS in Squarespace! Just remember to be careful when doing so, as it can have unintended consequences.
