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.
You can choose to only allow your site members to add comments, or also 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 permissions
