Hi,
We will be updated when the comment without sign-in for existing wix users is available?
Also, is it possible to add comment widgets to individual blog posts and not just pages?
My goal is to allow users to comment without signing in.
Thanks
Oliver
The blog commenting system needs a switch to allow the blog owner to receive notifications of comments on their posts. It doesn't have to be complicated. An email notifying the blog owner that a comment was made on "Title of the Post" would be sufficient.
Hey all!
We’re happy to announce that we released a so awaited feature that has been much requested by our blogging community - guest commenting. From now on your readers can leave a comment on your posts without having to sign up or log to the site.
Please read about it more here, give it a try, and let us know what you think. We can’t wait to hear your feedback!
Thanks @Mario Bañares . What happens if I don't have a Member Area? Can they still sign up and comment?
Hi @Fauzat Faizal,
When a new user sign up, we create an account for him. If you have Member Area installed in your site, they will get a Member Page and you will be able to see all the members.
About if they are subscribers or not, no. Members doesn't become subscribers to your site, but they will receive notifications for new post published (unless the member decide to mute this notification).
Hi,
When people sign up to comment, where do they go?
Do they become subscribers?
If I enable the link for people to log in, do I HAVE to have a members page?
Thanks!
Is there an update on this? It seems wix have been promising this functionality since November 2018. I'd really like to add the ability for readers to comment on individual pages/blog posts without signing in. When will this be available?
yes. This should be fine for now. I had some people who already commented on some posts and if I disable the wix comments to attach a third party app, people will not be able to see the comments that had already been posted previously which kind of sucks but i guess it’s okay.
Thanks Simona.
Hi @Oliver Taylor,
we'll update here on the community once the option to toggle off the Wix comments system is available for all users. Please subscribe to 'Updates' category of this forum to get the email notification when we release the update.
With the upcoming functionality you'll be able to add the third-party comments widget to the blog post.
Cheers,
Simona
