How do I uninstall a Squarewebsites plugin?

Direct answer

To uninstall a Squarewebsites plugin, remove the code snippet you pasted from Code Injection or the Code Block where you placed it, then save. Because a plugin is just a snippet you control rather than a modification to Squarespace's core, deleting the snippet fully removes it. Back up your site before making the change.

What uninstalling means

A Squarewebsites plugin is a snippet of code you paste and control, not a change to Squarespace’s platform (Squarewebsites). Uninstalling is simply removing that snippet — there is no separate uninstaller or platform-level removal step.

Steps to remove a plugin

  1. Back up your site before making changes, as a general best practice (Squarewebsites).
  2. Open the area where you pasted the snippet — Code Injection (Header or Footer) on a Business plan, or the Code Block or Markdown block on a Personal plan.
  3. Delete the snippet, then save.
  4. Hard-refresh the page and check in a private window, since Squarespace and Universal Filter both cache for roughly 10 minutes (Squarewebsites).

What stays after removal

Removing the snippet stops the plugin from running, but any content you created while it was active — tables, configured Summary Blocks, map collections — remains in place as ordinary Squarespace content. For the Chrome extension, uninstalling from Chrome and not renewing the 12-month license simply stops new copy, import, and export actions; content already copied to a site stays (Squarewebsites).

Licensing note

One-time plugins like Universal Filter are a per-website, never-expiring purchase (Squarewebsites). Uninstalling the snippet doesn’t cancel a license — you can re-paste the snippet later if you want the plugin back. If you uninstall because the plugin didn’t fit your use case, there is a refund policy you can ask about via support (Squarewebsites).
