Blog comments are written reactions that readers can add to your blog posts. Leaving a comment on a blog post is an easy way for your visitors to communicate with you and other readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments usually appear on your site right after the blog post content, along with the commenter\u2019s name, the date, and time they left the comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lively comment area can be a great way for you and your readers to build a community around your blog. Visitors can give feedback, ask questions, offer their own point of view on the topic, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The comment system comes with many options that you can configure from the Basic<\/strong>\u00a0Settings > Discussion<\/strong>\u00a0page. The first section of these options is for default article settings. These settings apply to all your posts, pages, attachments, and custom post types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at all of the options available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All comments on your website are displayed on the\u00a0Comments<\/strong>\u00a0page on the left-hand side menu. By default, it displays all comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can switch the view to see Pending, Approved, Spam, and Trash comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pending<\/strong>\u00a0comments have been submitted by visitors, but they won\u2019t be visible on your blog posts unless you approve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approved<\/strong>\u00a0comments have been published and are publicly visible on your blog posts by all your website visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spam <\/strong>comments have been flagged as possibly unwanted or irrelevant, and aren\u2019t visible to your site visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trash<\/strong>\u00a0comments have been marked as unwanted and will be automatically deleted for good after 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving your mouse over to a comment will display the action links for it. You can approve a comment to make it visible to all your site visitors, or unapprove it to put it in pending status again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also reply to comments. By replying to a specific comment, your reply will appear right under that comment. This is called \u201cthreaded\u201d or \u201cnested\u201d comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose to edit anyone\u2019s comments on your own site. The\u00a0Quick Edit<\/strong>\u00a0option opens a text area so you can edit the comment without reloading the page.\u00a0Edit<\/strong>, on the other hand, gives you more options to edit the name, user email, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you see a comment marked as spam that\u2019s actually a real comment, then you can mark it as Not Spam<\/strong> by hovering your mouse over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments in the trash section are comments that have been deleted by you. Any comment in the trash can be restored by clicking on Restore<\/strong>. Comments in trash remain there for 30 days after this time WordPress deletes them permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
