1. Why use this code?

The newsletter block in Squarespace is a fantastic tool (you’ll see I use it below, and throughout my entire site). The downside is that if you don’t want to give it a header using the block’s native header input, you get an obscene amount of padding that throws the spacing of your page off. Bad times. This handy little snippet fixes that with ease.

2. The code

You can target all newsletter blocks globally with the first code snippet, or just one newsletter block using the second snippet. Look at the headings to see which one you need.

🚨 You’ll need to download the Squarespace Block Identifier chrome extension to target the correct section in the second code.

Paste where? Design > Custom CSS

// Remove newsletter header padding globally //

.newsletter-block .newsletter-form-header-description p {

  display: none

}

// Remove newsletter header padding for one block //

#BLOCK-ID {

.newsletter-block .newsletter-form-header-description p {

  display: none

}
}
