Problems with your Blogger comments?
Wednesday, 18 February 2009
I've had a few questions from people with their Blogger blog comments not working (ie you click on the "post a comment" link but nothing happens. We have to check what kind of comments you have your blog set to.Log into your Blogger account.
Go to SETTINGS >> COMMENTS
You'll see a variety of options on this page. The one we need to check is the "Comment Form Placement". There are three choices:
- Full Page: this is where your comments/comment box are on the one page
- Pop-Up: this is when you click on "post a comment" and the comments open in a small pop-up window
- Embedded below post: this is where the comment loads/displays under the blog post being commented on.
If you have selected "Embedded below post" and yet, your comments do not seem to be working - follow these instructions to ensure they work.
1) Go to LAYOUT >> EDIT HTML
2) Back up your current template by clicking on "Download Full Template" (you should always back up your template/widgets before making any changes).
3) Under the big box of html code, you will see a link which says "Revert widget templates to default". Click this link. A pop up will appear which says
"This will discard all changes to widget templates. Your widget data will remain unchanged. Continue?"
Click "OK"
Refresh your blog and you will now see that the comments form is now embedded within your blog like this, underneath the corresponding blog post (it's a lot more streamlined and doesn't have the "Blogger" appearance that the pop-up and "whole page" comments forms do ie: they're not bright orange).

This will fix the issue.
Good luck.
