Keeping Comments with Posts (instead of listing in a widget)

  • Unknown's avatar

    Happy Friday WP Support Team. I am wondering how I can keep comments made on my site with the post the comment is for? ie–When comments are made on my blog, comments get listed in the Recent Comments Widget. I don’t want that widget anymore and want comments kept with the post at the bottom of the post. How is that done?
    Thank you so much for your help! You guys are great! Happy Friday!!
    Thanks–Shari Trumbull @ Ain’t That Artsy Fartsy

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

    Hi Shari,

    You are welcome to remove the Recent Comments Widget from your blog, and the comments will still be kept with each post.

    For example, you can view the comments at the bottom of your “Fun With Fabric-Part 2” post by going to that post’s page here: http://aintthatartsyfartsy.com/2013/08/06/fun-with-fabric-part-2/

    Please let me know if you have any questions about that! :)

    Hi Rachel,
    Thanks for your answer–which leads me to another :) Is there a way to make comments automatically visible, instead of having to click on the Comments to see? I’d like to have all comments visible with its applicable posting so that may prompt others to leave comments, too.
    Thanks so much, Rachel :) Hope you’re having a good Sunday so far!

    Hi there,

    Comments are automatically visible on your single post pages, but they won’t be visible from your blog’s home page. That’s determined by the theme templates and can’t be changed here at WordPress.com.

    If someone visits your blog’s home page, they will see the “Leave a comment” link on each blog, which prompts them to leave a comment. If they visit the single post page, the comment area will be visible at the bottom of the post.

    I hope this helps clarify how that works! :)
