Duplicate comment box on blog post in 20-11 theme

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    Once you click into the blog post itself, there is a duplicate comment box – I’ve tested a comment myself, and then a duplicate comment feed appears, too (so it’s not just the duplicate “reply” field.)

    When I disable comments/discussion, it disables both boxes. When I enable it, both are enabled. I’ve disabled comments from the blog webpage, but I do want comments on posts. I just don’t need duplicates!

    I’ve been googling solutions for over an hour and haven’t found anything to help. I hope someone here can!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there,

    I visited your “Creepy-crawlies under my skin” post and I also see the two comment forms.

    To explain what is going on, the theme you are using automatically displays a comment form, no extra work needed on your part. However, when I check on your post in the editor view, I see that you have also added a “Post Comments” block to the post directly as well, right at the bottom of the post.

    This has the effect of showing the comment form twice. But the good news is you can remove the block and just let the theme handle that for you automatically. This is difficult to explain in words, so I recorded a quick video to show you how to find and remove the comment block in your “Creepy-crawlies under my skin” post.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
