Why can’t I change templates in Squarespace?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:44 pm

There are a few reasons why you may not be able to change templates in Squarespace.

First, some templates are specific to a certain type of content, like a blog post or gallery. Changing the template for that type of content may not work as expected.

PRO TIP: If you are using the Squarespace platform to build your website, you may have noticed that you are unable to change templates. This is because Squarespace does not allow users to change templates once they have started building their website on a particular template. If you try to change templates, you will lose all of your content and will have to start from scratch. So, if you’re thinking about changing templates, be warned that you will lose all of your existing content.

Second, some templates are based on specific content or design elements, and changing them may cause instability or errors in your pages.

Finally, Squarespace may not allow you to change a template because it is associated with a protected piece of content, like a blog post or page layout. In some cases, you may need to contact Squarespace support to change the template.
