Step 5. Set Up and Manage Your Content
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 item – all items are required for the plugin to work.
Blog Title = Title Text
Blog Excerpt Box (Hyperlink) = Animated Number (See Step 6)
Blog Excerpt Box (Normal 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 a later step.
Step 6. Create The Animated Number
To create the animated number, add your number text first in the excerpt box and add #number as a link to the text - see this example.
⚠️ Important: Do not include non-number characters (like $, %, etc) with the number text. There is an option in Footer Code Injection to add these. Next, add a line break (hit enter) and add your description text.
Step 7. 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)
Primary Metadata: None
Enable: Title, Excerpt
Disable: Image
Layout: Carousel Style
⚠️ Important: Add the text number-counter (all lowercase) to the summary block’s header text box.
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.
