Due to recent updates on Squarespace's user management pages, the setup instructions listed below are incorrect. Apologies for any confusion and we're working diligently on resolving this issue. (April 26th, 2013)


If you've already set up an account and have the Repost.Us scripts for your site, it's time to install them on your SquareSpace site by following these simple steps:

Step 1: Sign in to your Admin Dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to the "Website Management" section of your SquareSpace admin dashboard.
Step 3: Click "Website Settings" then go to the "Code Injection" section.

Step 4: Find the "Extra header code" in the drop-down menu and add the script below and click “Save”: 

<script src='http://static.1.rp-api.com/rjs/repostus.js' type='text/javascript'></script> <meta content='YourAPIKey' name='RepostUsAPIKey'/>

IMPORTANT! Please note that there is a slash (/) before the closing bracket (>) in the sample script above. If the script you received when creating your Repost.Us account does NOT contain this slash (/), then you MUST add it manually to the script otherwise Repost.Us will not work on your SquareSpace site.  

Step 6: To add the Repost.Us button to your template, go back to the “Website Management” section and find "Architecture."
Step 7: After clicking on “Architecture”, you will see a box titled "Post Display Configuration". Scroll down the box until you find the “Example Post Title” section.


Step 8: Click on “HTML Snippets”, which will open an editor. Enter the following code:

<a class='rpuRepostUsButton' href='https://secure.repost.us/syndicate/create?url=%PERMALINK%'><img title='Repost This' alt='Repost This' src='http://secure.repost.us/images/button-hrz-sml.png'/></a>

Step 9: Save your changes, and then save the page configuration when this is complete.
Step 10: Save your template.

That's it!  You have installed Repost.Us on your SquareSpace site. If you encounter any problems while setting up Repost.Us on your SquareSpace site, please feel free to email us at support@repost.us, and we'll help you out with your setup.
