Comments not showing up on page

[oturnbough]

Comments are not showing up on my page so I saw that some one here at the same issue I had. Its because I’m using blank no containter with header and footer.

I put a lot on the page so I can’t redo this page, I saw this comment on the page

Blank container is designed specifically, not to allow any comments. Basically it is not going to be blank, if we’ll add pre-built content like comments.

Without customizing your templates, you can also create a short-code for comments section. So you can simply add your shortcode into your page to display comments section.

Please follow this guide on how to create a shortcode (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28593898/how-to-display-the-comments-template-with-a-shortcode-in-wordpress1).

Thanks!

Hello @oturnbough,

Thanks for posting in!

The shortcode is already provided in the link. Please follow this guide on how to create a shortcode (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28593898/how-to-display-the-comments-template-with-a-shortcode-in-wordpress).

Once you have created the shortcode, you can insert it in a content area element on the page that is using the Blank Container page template.

Hope this helps.
