How to Change the Blog Post Thumbnail Image in Squarespace / Add Photo to Blog Squarespace Tutorial

[@livinglogic]

OMG THANK YOU Christy - I can't believe how much time I wasted looking for this image upload option. You rock.

[@ChristyPrice]

Thanks! So glad it was helpful!

Squarespace 7.1 is a vast improvement from a UX perspective. But I really dislike how they are still making things unnecessarily difficult for their users. Something so simple should not need people to search Google to find out how to do it. Thank you for this video, it helped a lot x

[@ChristyPrice]

Glad it was helpful! And totally agree - I wish some things in 7.1 were more intuitive!

[@honeybeesweat]

Thank you for this! WOW, I spent way too much time on this. All the videos I found were for 7.0 and I was about to lose it. Subscribed!

[@ChristyPrice]

Glad it helped!

[@christianhalmdienst4216]

… THANK YOU SO MUCH. I would have never figured that one out by myself. Regards from Austria, hope you're doing well, stay safe and healthy, Christian

[@ChristyPrice]

Thanks Christian! Staying home and staying safe here in Texas USA. Appreciate you leaving a comment!

[@janellebrez2212]

You are so welcome! Thanks very much for your feedback!

[@yixiuchan]

Thank you so much for this simple tutorial! I have wasted literally hours of my life and begun doubting my basic competence at life because I haven't been able to figure out how to do this

[@ChristyPrice]

I’m glad this isn’t a competency test... it would be a tough one! So happy you found the tutorial helpful. Thanks so much for letting me know!

[@50ztej]

Yes Thank you Christy, I was baffled about this for ages and couldn't find the answer anywhere.

[@ChristyPrice]

So glad it was helpful!

[@50ztej]

@@ChristyPrice It really was. Quick question. Are you able to change the blog date on the edit mode? I would have thought you could.. as its quite an important part of this, but you don't seem to be able to change it with the title.

[@50ztej]

Ignore the question. I found it. Thank you:)

[@ChristyPrice]

@@50ztej you can! Click where it says Published and you can change the publication date.

[@ChristyPrice]

@@50ztej no worries - I'll leave the reply here in case it helps someone else looking to change the date. :)

[@gigideritzulueta4718]

Thank you for this, but why is that when posting the URL to other sites, the initial image was still appearing even after changing the featured image in Squarespace?

THANK YOU OH MY GOSH THANK YOU

[@ChristyPrice]

Thanks for letting me know it was helpful!

[@mrkfitz1]

I followed this to a T and it is still not showing my thumbnail. Are there other options I am missing or maybe settings. Thanks Appreciate your videos.

[@ChristyPrice]

Hi Mark. This should do it! I’ve noticed some weird image behavior in the last few days when I’m logged in, so that might be what’s happening. Try viewing your live site when you’re not logged into Squarespace. You may need to go to settings and set up a site wide password, then view it in a private browser window.

[@vivianetardif7936]

Can we add the image to the blog post article page?? I can't find how.. :) Thanks!

[@ChristyPrice]

Viviane Tardif yes you can, but it’s not automatic. You’ll need to add an image block inside your post.

[@Your_Favorite_Season]

How do you get rid of the annoying pre-written preview of the blog?

[@ChristyPrice]

Hi! You’d want to turn off the Excerpt. This video dives into those settings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3nTo3WCdtyroNk

[@PaulMartinNF]

What template is this?
