How to add a Comment Form to a specific page.

Hi all! I’m fairly new to WP, but so far I was able to solve all issues by searching this forum EXCEPT this one:

I want to add a comment form to a page (NOT post) of mine. I’m using the Renew template and I’m able to make the comment form appear on the page if I choose “Default Template” in the “Template” field under “Page Attributes”.

However I want to add the comment form to the page while selecting “Blank – No Container | Header, Footer” as the “Template” in “Page Attributes”.

How can I do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Jack

Hi Jack,

Technically this is not possible by simple tweaking to X theme, as the mentioned template is designed to not have comments form. However, I can help you for that with really simple trick. Please follow the steps one by one:

1) Install this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-form-shortcode/ in your site. It helps you to call your site default comment form anywhere using a shortcode.

2) Now, open your page via WordPress admin. Place the shortcode: [comment] anywhere in the page to call the comment form.

3) Now, as “Blank – No Container | Header, Footer” Template has No container of it’s own, so comments form will be shown as like your page width. If you need to adjust it then apply some Custom CSS, if you don’t know how to do it then share your website URL we’ll be glad to provide the CSS to you.

Hope these helps, Cheers!

Hi There,

Would you mind sharing us the URL of the comment box so we could check the right class of the concern box and we could suggest the best custom CSS to be added in your customizer’s custom CSS or child theme stylesheet.

Thanks.
