Is there a Webflow element or a provider that allows visitors to write comments on a page and have other visitors respond to those comments?
Yes, Webflow offers a native element called the "Dynamic List" that can be used to create a commenting system on a page. However, to implement a commenting system with the ability for visitors to respond to comments, you will need to integrate a third-party commenting platform.
One popular commenting platform that can be easily integrated with Webflow is Disqus. Here's how you can set it up:
Create a Disqus account: Visit the Disqus website (disqus.com) and create an account if you don't already have one. Once your account is created, you'll be given a unique "shortname" for your website.
Add the Disqus embed code: Go to your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the commenting system. Add an HTML Embed element to the page by dragging it from the Elements Panel.
Customize the embed code: In the Settings panel for the HTML Embed element, you can customize the appearance and behavior of the Disqus comments section. Make sure to set the
data-urlattribute to the URL of the page where you're adding the commenting system.Publish your changes: Once you've finished customizing the embed code, publish your changes and the Disqus comments section should now be visible on your page.
Moderate comments: To manage comments and moderation settings, you can log in to your Disqus account and access the moderation dashboard.
By implementing a commenting system with Disqus, you not only allow visitors to write comments on a page but also enable other visitors to respond to those comments. Disqus offers a range of features including user registration, comment threading, comment voting, and moderation tools.
Please note that there are other commenting platforms available in the market besides Disqus. If you prefer to use a different platform, you can follow a similar integration process using the embed code provided by that platform.
