Inline Recommended Content Widget Not Showing?

Answered
Amanda L Meder

I just moved my site from Squarespace 7.0 - 7.1 and my Inline Content Recommendation Widget is no longer showing.

I've narrowed it down to maybe needing a new content selector and have read the article: https://help.grow.me/hc/en-us/articles/4769282371611-Content-Selector

What do I do after I find out what content selector works best? For example, I think I need “article.entry." 

Here's an example article from the site:

Here's another site I have on Squarespace 7.1 and the Inline Widget works just fine:

    Hi Amanda!

    After you've determined the best content selector for your site, you'll need to add it to Grow Publisher Portal. You can find the general content selector field under Grow Publisher Portal > Grow Settings > General:

    Don't forget to scroll down and click Save Changes in the bottom right!

    Thank you so much! After some trial and error, what ended up working was: .content .blog-item-content

    Amanda L Meder  did you setup grow on your site by yourself? I’m asking because I’m trying to do it and I’m completely stuck.

    Amanda L Meder Trying to get the inline content widget to work. I'm completely new. How did you find the content selector?

    I used this Content Selector help doc - https://help.grow.me/hc/en-us/articles/4769282371611-Content-Selector

    Then, with that as my guide, I just futzed around looking for various HTML entries on the blog page that might fit and entered them into the content selector block in the grow portal until I got lucky and 1 worked!

    Hi Amanda & Elizabeth - were either of you able to get Spotlight Subscribe form working on your SquareSpace sites? I have Squarespace 7.0 and have not been able to figure out how to get this to work. The recommended content widget works just fine but the Spotlight Subscribe form will not show up anywhere on my site. Please let me know - thanks!

    Yes, I had similar issues at first, but it turned out to be a simple fix. You just need to ensure you’ve selected the desired form in both boxes on the subscribe settings page.

    Go to Subscribe >> Settings >> Default Spotlight Subscribe Form and make sure the correct one is selected.

    If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out. I’ve been helping people develop websites for over 12 years, and I offer paid consulting for more in-depth support and guidance. Let me know if you’d like to explore that option!

    Amanda L Meder  I will take you up on the consulting part. I tried so many time and wasted days. I even reached out to the developer for my website and nothing yet.

    Amanda L Meder  I emailed you, it’s probably in the spam or junk folder.
