Hi... thank you for your knowledge. I have a question. I want to have a landing page ... but not make it my home page. I would like my URL to take you to a landing page ... then press enter to take you top a home page then while navigating to different pages , the site title page should take you to the home page every time... However, I can't seem to separate the landing and home page. If I make my landing my home page .. every time I hit my site title it take me there ... how do I change and control where my site title will take you to.. In version 7.0 thank you .. James

There is no Cover Page option. This is not what appears on Pages on my site. Any suggestions? The options are Blank Page or Page Layouts. Landing page or cover page do not show up nor is there a box with options and Cover Page at the bottom.

Hey Karen, in Squarespace 7.1 they've taken away the Cover Page option (NO idea why) but I figured out a workaround last week on how to create one anyways, so I'll work on making that tutorial to share here asap!

Can we still get 7.0? Squarespace website only offers 7.1 nowadays, no? How can we get 7.0??

Here you go! www.squarespace.com/templates?onboarding_v7_1_0819=control - I'm learning to like 7.1 but not having a cover page option is frustrating, isn't it??
