Step 5. Set Up and Manage Your Tabs and Images

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 caption and image – all items are required for the plugin to work.

  • Blog Title = Title Text

  • Blog Image = Image

  • Blog Excerpt Text = Description Text

  • Blog Excerpt Text Hyperlink = Turns Into Button

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.


Helpful Tip - Create a Button (Optional)

To create a button within each caption, add a hyperlink text at the very end of the excerpt . The plugin will turn the hyperlink into a button.


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 phase-image-changer (in 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.


Troubleshooting (Plugin Not Working)

  • The phase-image-changer text has been added to the summary’s header box.

  • A title, excerpt, and image are all required in each post.

  • If only 3 items are showing, check the summary block’s number of items setting.
