Post Comments
The comments of the current post and the reply form.
On this page
The Post Comments widget shows the comments of the post being viewed, with replies nested under them, followed by the form to leave a comment. Place it at the end of your blog post template.
Where the comments come from
The comments are the WordPress comments of the post. You approve, answer and delete them in Comments in the WordPress dashboard, and you choose who can comment, whether comments need approval and how deep replies can nest in Settings → Discussion. You can also turn comments on or off for a single post when you edit it.
The widget uses your theme's comments template, so the layout of the list and form follows your theme, and you style fonts and colors in the Design tab. It shows nothing when comments are closed and the post has none.
Add Post Comments
Open your blog post template in the Theme Builder. Then open Insert in the left panel, find Post Comments in the Site & theme group (or type "comments" in the search box) and drag it to the end of the template. See Add elements.
The widget has no content settings: everything it shows comes from WordPress.

Tips
- The Comments item of the Post Info widget links straight to this list, or to the form when there are no comments yet.
- Spam comments are handled by WordPress and your anti-spam plugin, not by the form protection of the Form widget.
