Summary

If you are using Squarespace 7.1's new Fluid Engine editor, you might have noticed that your text blocks get TONS of space between them on screen sizes between 600px and 767px (between mobile and tablet) with no way to remove it.

This is because of the way Fluid Engine maps blocks to the grid. The remedy is to map blocks to the grid on a screen size of 767px. When mapping them at this width, the spacing issues are resolved.

This extension automatically makes your 7.1 site's mobile view 767px wide, so you don't have to resize the window yourself. It also provides a "mobile preview" mode, that shows the original mobile view in additional to the 767px editing view, so you can see what your site looks like across more screen sizes.

This will provide a much needed fix until (hopefully) Squarespace gives us an editable tablet view in the future. Then at that time you can uninstall this extension.

Would be helpful if it even worked. The Enable Extension button doesn't work.

Unbelievably helpful. I don't usually review a plugin, but this one is incredibly handy for any Squarespace user, no matter what your level of expertise. Tablet traffic to our website is usually around 5%, but I wanted to make sure all users have a terrific experience. Thanks so much!
