Post Comments

Content Tab

Source: By default, this setting is set to 'Current Post'. It ensures that the displayed comments are those associated with the post you are currently editing or viewing. This is the typical use-case scenario. You can choose 'Custom' and manually select a post, which will fetch comments and post comments to the manually selected post.
Load Dummy Data in Editor: If you flip this switch to 'Yes', the widget will load placeholder comments. These aren't real but are a fantastic tool for visualizing and tweaking your comments section before your post goes live.
Enable Guest Mode in Editor: Turn this on to 'Yes' to activate guest mode. This will show you how the comment fields look to a user who isn't logged in, allowing you to format those fields accordingly.

You will find several sections here:

Heading: Adjust the style of your comments section heading here.
Comment Container: The box that wraps individual comments can be styled here.
Comment Content: Fine-tune the look of the text within each comment.
Author: Style the appearance of the comment author's name.
Comment Form: The design of the form where users submit their comments can be altered here.
Comment Form Fields: Customize the fields within the comment form, such as ‘Name’, ‘Email’, and ‘Comment’.
Consent Checkbox: Style the checkbox that users may tick for GDPR compliance.
Submit Button: Adjust the style of the button used to submit comments.
Action Links: Style links that are available for each comment like 'Reply', 'Edit', etc.
By clicking on any of these sections, you will reveal a set of styling options – background, typography, margins, padding, and borders – tailored for each element.

Sometimes, things don't go as planned. If you see the following error in your Elementor Editor, follow these instructions to enable comments:

In Elementor editor mode, click on the gear icon to access post settings. This icon is located at the center of the editor panel.
Locate preview settings, select a post, search for one of your blog posts, then save and apply.

Go to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Posts and choose the post featured in the Elementor template.
Check for the Discussion meta box within the post editor. If it's not visible, select Screen Options at the top right and tick the Discussion checkbox.
Ensure "Allow comments" is checked within the Discussion meta box.

Still within the WordPress dashboard, go to Settings > Discussion.
Make sure the "Default post settings" permit comments on new articles. Note that individual posts may override these settings. Changes here will only be applied to new posts.
Check for any specific instructions under "Other comment settings" or "Before a comment appears" that might block comments from showing up or being posted.
