Universal Filter does NOT work on all pages but it works on the following:
Shop/Product Pages
Blog Pages
Portfolio Pages
Events Pages
Gallery Pages (7.0)
Index Pages (7.0)
Video Pages
Summary Blocks
Gallery Blocks
Gallery Section
List Items
Table Block
Map Block
-
The Universal Filter simply follows the display limit of the Squarespace page or block where it’s been installed. It does NOT affect the display limit whatsoever.
However, for blog and shop pages you may customize the number of items displayed per page. And if you’re using a Summary block, you can use the Lazy Summary to raise the display limit. -
You’ll find your URL and password to the Universal Filter Instruction Guide in the purchase email after you’ve successfully purchased the plugin.
The first section has the simple steps on how to install the Universal Filter plugin. And you’ll find the codes for the specific Block or Collection list type you’re using in the sections below.
Chrome Extension Tool
-
Yes, because the Chrome Extension Tool lets you copy pages and content between Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 sites in a few clicks making it an excellent tool for site migration.
-
Yes, your subscription allows you to use the extension on up to 3 devices simultaneously. But you'll need to log in with your account on each device.
-
-
No, you don’t need PRO version to copy pages. The LITE version is enough to copy pages.
-
First, add the Extension Tool to your Chrome browser (this plugin only works on Chrome browser so download it if you haven’t yet).
Then open the Extension Tool and login with the email address you used to purchase the subscription. -
We regularly update the Chrome Extension Tool to ensure optimal functionality with Squarespace's frequent changes and to add new and highly requested features (only on Pro version).
-
No, the price indicate is per account so you can a license on multiple computers.
-
The extension uses undocumented Squarespace API, so there is some risk involved. So we recommend backing up your site before making changes so you have a version to go back to if things go wrong.
And please reach out to us if you run into any issues with using the extension instead of going to forums where we’re not always active.
We’d be happy to help you fix the issue or refund your purchase if we can’t help you at all.
-
Sorry, there’s NO trial version available. You need to purchase either the Lite or Pro subscription to use the extension.
-
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with the Extension Tool or if it’s not the solution you need.
You can request a refund and we’ll refund your purchase.
-
Aside from letting you copy pages between Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 sites (and 7.1 to 7.1 sites), import/export content sections and pages across Squarespace websites, you also get plugins like:
Lazy Load Summaries so you can raise the Summary block display limit from 30 to 250,
Advanced Map Block so you can show multiple markers to display multiple locations on the map block, and
Custom Tables so you can create tables and import your Google sheets on to your site.
-
First, you should know that both versions will let you copy pages. So you do NOT need a PRO version if you just need to copy pages.
The difference between the PRO and LITE is that Extension Tool PRO has additional plugins you can use like copying Content Presets, add Table blocks, add multiple map locations, extend summary block limits and more. -
You don’t need to paste a code. You just have to install the Google Chrome extension and login with your subscription account (the one you make when you purchase a subscription).
Lazy Summary Plugin
-
Yes, you can use the Lazy Summary multiple times on a page and multiple times on different pages on your website.
-
No, the Lazy Summary plugin only works on summary blocks so it can’t help you with page sections.
-
No, you can’t use Lazy Summary plugin on blog pages to raise the display limit or a Load More button because this plugin only works on Summary blocks.
-
No, the Lazy Summary plugin only works on summary blocks so it can’t help you with portfolio pages at all.
-
No, Lazy Summary does not work on summary blocks using the masonry layout.
-
You will need Business Plan because you need to paste the code on the Footer Injection which is only available on Business Plan or higher.
What If I’m on Personal Plan?
You can use this hack, add a Markdown block on your footer and paste the code in the Markdown block. This works as a workaround for now or until Squarespace bans it. -
It’s a simple copy and paste, simply paste the lazy summary code in the Footer Injection, save it and refresh your page. Then you’ll find additional tabs in your Summary Block Settings window.
Go to the Lazy Settings tab, enable the Lazy Summary option and your summary block will display up to 250. -

Copy the code and paste it in the Footer Injections.
