Improve engagement on your blog by enabling your community to add comments to your posts. Visitors can also edit their comments, add media to them, reply to other comments, 'like' comments, and sort comments to show the newest or oldest first.
Examples of comments on a Wix Blog post
You can choose to allow only your site members to add comments, or let site visitors comment on posts as guests without needing to sign up.
Comments are enabled on your posts by default. Blog owners, admins, and editors can enable, disable, and delete comments for any post on your blog. Writers can only manage comments for their own posts. Learn more about roles and permissio ns.
Important:
  • You may be legally responsible for any comments on your site that are the subject of criminal activity, including hate speech, racism, sexism, etc.
  • Visitors who guest comment will be able to comment without accepting your site's terms of use, if it has any.  

Enabling or disabling comments for all posts

You can enable or disable comments for all of your blog posts directly from your dashboard, or on the Wix app. This gives you flexibility over how readers interact with your blog, and lets you decide if you want to encourage conversation, or keep posts comment-free.
  1. Go to Blog in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the More Actions drop-down at the top right.
  3. Click Blog settings. 
  4. Customize the following options in the Comments and ratings section:
    • Comments: Enable/disable comments on your blog posts. 
      • Who can leave comments?: Choose who can leave comments on your blog posts: Members only or Everyone.
    • Ratings: Enable/disable the toggle to choose whether readers can leave a rating or not.

  2. Click the Posts tab.
