PLEASE
-
Just a suggestion, but, the subscribe and comments blocks are a bit blunt: ‘Type your email here,’ ‘Enter your comment here!’
Sounds like I am back in the military!
How about prefacing each (plus other other requests) with please?
After all, we are actually asking them for something, hmmm?
Cheers

Thanks again.

Welcome.
Same topic, I am trying to add a “Comment” block into an existing reusable block but fail. The error message – sort of – is that this block is disabled ( or similar wording)I’ve tried to find a way to enable it, but also failed.
Any thoughts, ideas please?Cheers

Hi there,
Can you tell me where/how you’re trying to use that block?
The comments block is a template block, in other words, it’s intended to be used when working on a template for your theme in the site editor at Appearance ->Editor. And you’ll only have access to that editor if you’re using one of our new block themes. It’s not a block that should be added to the content of individual posts or pages.
The Leven theme you’re using doesn’t support the full-site editing feature, so you don’t have access to the site editor to edit your templates, and I wouldn’t expect that block to work correctly.
You also don’t need that block – in this theme, the comment area is hard-coded into the theme itself, so you simply enable/disable comments from within the editor, based on whether or not you want them to display on a specific post or page. There’s no need to add a comments block to your posts or pages in order to display comments, but you also don’t have the options built into that block to control how comments are displayed.
If you’d like the ability to use that block so you have more control over how your comments appear, you’ll need to switch to a block theme – any of the themes in the Recommended tab in the theme showcase.
Should you decide to give that a try, you can find details on how the site editor works here:

Hello, I’m glad it was you who replied~
Not sure of I can answer your how. where question fully in less than 500 words, but, in brief:
In my post editor.
I have a series of existing blocks, para, headings, pull quotes ending with a reusable block. In other words, probably the usual set up or layout.What i would like to do is insert a comments block INTO THE REUSABLE block.
I find I can set it as a stand alone block between the final paragraph block and the reusable. Example: https://aim2dchinabusinessnews.wordpress.com/2022/06/24/remembering-shanghai/Essentially you’re correct, to some extend it is redundant.
However, the hard coded comments section falls in the footer area, as you say, not editable. Human nature being what it is, people usually don’t scroll past the end of the main content. At least not in our research.
So I wanted to put it within their reach.I will read the link you gave me – cheers – see if that helps, and come back to you if not. Maybe I have to rebuild the reusable as a standard series of blocks then convert the whole thing back to reusable. I dunno.
I mostly use H5 + CSS3, WordPress is my “lazy mans” approach as I don’t have much time to spend on our own sites~ Consequently it is a very basic set up and I am constantly learning~
Cheers
PP/s still have no been able to turn off the self ping back comments though – grrr~ Your trick of using the short link messed up the EMBED block.

@kokkieh, thanks for a really helpful reply.
Followed the link, decided on blank canvas.
At least I thought I knew what I would get with that – other themes are less predictable when one swaps existing content over.So I was ready for one great big, long, ugly line of content and images mixed together. Ready for a few days of solid re design. But no. Came over really well.
Needs a small bit of tidying- but doable.I will play around with the editor, see what I can do.
See how much creativity is afforded me.
Again, many, many thx
cheers

I’m glad to hear it helped, and that you’re happy with Blank Canvas :D
The site editor is a work in progress, and new features are being added almost on a weekly basis. But that also means a bigger chance for bugs at the moment, so please don’t hesitate if you encounter any issues while using it.

Spent a little time with the editor.
Seems very good.
Maybe the very best thing about WordPress – wish I had found it years ago~
