500px blocks

Feature the most recent images from your 500px account on your site.

Use 500px blocks to display images from your 500px account on your site. This is a great way to showcase your 500px images without manually adding them to gallery blocks or gallery pages.

Before you begin

500px blocks pull the most recent images added to your 500px account, across all of your portfolios. It's not possible to choose a specific portfolio or set of images.

Add a 500px block

To add a 500px block:

1. Edit a page or post, click Add Block or an insert point, then click 500px. For help, visit Adding content with blocks.
2. Open the block editor by clicking the pencil icon on the block.
3. In the Account tab, select Add an account to connect your 500px account to Squarespace. If you already connected the 500px account in Connected Accounts, you can select it from the drop-down instead.
4. Choose the number of items to display in the block using the Items slider, up to 20.
5. Use the Design tab to change the layout and customize the design. You can set the images to appear in slideshow, carousel, grid, or stack layouts. Design options vary based on the chosen layout.
6. If your site is on version 7.0, click Apply to publish your changes.
