Can comments be moved to a different page?
-
Is there an option to move comments over to a different page? I have comments on several of my pages, and thought it would be neater if I can move them to a single page? Please let me know, thanks.

Comments cannot be moved from one post or page to another.
If you wanted to showcase some of your comments, you could create a Page and then copy and paste the comment in there with a link to the original comment itself. That would be a nice way of showing off what some of your readers are saying.
-
You can just copy them and paste them into the actual body of the post. I’ve done that here:
But your commenters might not like it.

Comments can be moved from one post or page to another, but it has to be done manually. You copy the comments and the commenters’ data (nick, mail, etc.), log out, submit them yourself as new comments, log in, edit the comments to restore original date and data.
-
So technically they cannot be moved, but they can be re-created. Slightly different… but you’re right, the comments can be manually re-entered and modified to look like the originals.

As a reader who comments I don’t like this at all. I comment on the post in question and expect that my comment will be displayed there only. What is the purpose of this duplication? -
I think the real question here is “Can I consolidate the comments to one page automatically to make it easier to have a dialogue between readers. I have the same question. I publish a daily blog and would like my readers to not have to check 12 entries back to continue a discussion. Any other options? Maybe forum capabilities?

All themes here allow readers to subscribe to the specific comments on any one post. They’ll get an email when someone else comments on that post.
You can add a forum by just linking to it, but WP.com doesn’t have forums, since it’s a blog platform. Just get a forum at some forum platform site and link to it in your sidebar.

I can’t continue a discussion without reading the comments that came before mine. If I don’t read them then my comment is being made only to the blogger who created the post and that means it’s not truly a part of the “discussion” at all.IMO you ought to consider either getting a forum and linking to it as raincoaster has said or getting a free social network from ning.

Thanks for the answers. I was just curious if comments could be moved over to a single page, that’s all.
