I am helping a friend get her website up and running and her Blog running I have been impressed by Wix so far..... then she asked me about Comments in her Blog
Firstly telling me the she couldn't add a Comment box, then she used the Comment App but a huge amount of white space appeared between the blog text and the comment box. Then an added comment was appearing across all the blog posts. She tried moving the comments in Post editor to remove the white space but the comments disappeared.
She showed me what she was doing and it was bizarre!
I have removed the Comments App and found the settings to turn on Comments for all Blogs.
The comment box doesn't appear in the browser (as a viewer). How do i fix this? (show comments is selected)
Is it really true a viewer can't simply leave a comment in the blog they are reading? (it is replicated across all blogs?)
It would be a lot better if guests could give themselves a name, instead of just having a code assigned to them
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!
are comments from third-party apps transferable to wix blog comments and if so how?
Isso é horrível! Como posso incluir a barra de comentário nos posts?
Hello @Philip Thieler and @lithium.neo,
We're currently working on adding the function to post comments under blogs without the need to log in/sign up. In the mean time, it's best to use some third party commenting app found in the market.
I agree. This is needed and cant see a way to do this using in-built commenting option. The number of comments would definitely reduce if the design makes it difficult to comment i.e. signing up when a reader might not want to sign up. Request wix admins to enlighten us on this.
Is there a way to allow non site members to leave comments on the posts with the wix comment box or do I need a third party app for that? I don't want to go through the effort of signing up to the site just to leave a comment
Hi Rafal MANY thanks for your help !
I was nearly there !. I found the "Comments" Setting in Posts/Settings but you are right I may not have re-Published. I also turned off view and like counters as I read in the Wiix Help info that these should be turned off. I'll turn them back on one by one and see if that makes any difference,
I must admit finding the Posts/Setting menu is not exactly intuitive or obvious !
Thanks again
Ian
Hello @iana2smith,
You can either use third party commenting apps or you can use the Blog comments which can be turned on in the Post Page settings:
If you have this turned on, then your users should be able to leave a comment and it should only appear on the posts they've commented on.
Perhaps you turned this on but didn't publish the site to update its live version.
Hope this helps!
