Step 5. Set Up and Manage Your Slides
Create a new blog page and add a new post with the following inputs. Each input will turn into a certain element within the plugin. Repeat this step for each slide – all items are required for the plugin to work.
Blog Title = Title Text
Blog Image = Image
Blog Excerpt Text = Description Text
Why a blog? The blog page is simply used as a workaround to house and manage your slides. You’ll link this blog page to a summary block in the next step.
Step 6. Add a Summary Block
Add a summary block to any page with these settings - this will link the summary block to the blog you just created. All settings are required for the plugin to work.
Select a Page: The Blog Page (From Step 5)
Enable: Title, Image, Excerpt
Layout: Carousel Style
⚠️ Important: Add the text naton (all lowercase) to the summary block’s header text box.
Helpful Tip - Transparent Header (Optional)
For a transparent header, set the transparentHeaderAboveSlider Footer Code Injection option to true and change the header’s color to Adaptive in header settings.
Plugin Notes
Font family inherits from title and body settings.
Cannot use other plugins that also use the carousel layout.
Squarespace's native carousel layout will not be available.
Troubleshooting (Plugin Not Working)
The naton text has been added to the summary’s header text box.
A title, excerpt, and image are all required in each post.
Disabling Squarespace Animations is recommended.
Using one slideshow on a single page is recommend as having multiple may affect some functionality.
