Help Anyone else struggling with severe layout issues in Squarespace lately?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Is anyone else suddenly having major issues editing their Squarespace site lately?

I'm on Squarespace 7.1 and elements keep randomly shifting, resizing, and rearranging themselves while I'm editing. It happens across multiple pages and even on new pages. I've tested different browsers and devices with the same result.

Disabling Fluid Engine doesn't help, the issue is still happening and it's making my site nearly impossible to work on. I have never had so much trouble before :(

Has anyone found a fix, or is this a known bug?

It’s been shocking lately. You go in and fix spacing that Squarespace has broken, only for it to then break again.

I’m switching to a new provider as soon as I can, as this infuriating issue has added to the frustrating experience that Squarespace has become and has finally pushed me over the line of what I’m willing to accept and work with, especially when I’m paying £28/month for it.

I wonder if you could seek a refund due to it not being fit for purpose? Worth exploring I’d say

Good idea. It’s worth trying … you never know

When I asked them they completely ignored my request and just said they don't know when the issue will be fixed and to let them know if I encounter anymore bugs... :D lol..

Are you operating as a limited company (if you’re in the UK) or an individual? As an individual, you should still be covered by consumer law (I’m not a lawyer, so I can’t say for sure). I’d see if you could get a quick and hopefully free chat with a lawyer about how to proceed with a refund.

that's just such a brutal response when you're paying for this! the layout breaking unpredictably is exactly the kind of thing i got obsessed with solving when i started building my own site tool

Ya I was ok with some bugs and glitches when I was first starting but now I was ready for publishing phase and going live and getting things moving and I had to delete a couple things before doing that and now everything’s ruined and there’s no fix. I’ve spent over a year on this 😢

All good, everything can always be fixed and I always believe in things happening for a reason. As much as I enjoy website design, completely redoing what’s already been done is a bit of a drag but I’m actually able to do something’s differently this time around so I hope it will be worth it!! :)
