The comments module allows you to place a online form comments anywhere on your page. If you are using a standard page or post without the Divi Builder, comments will still appear below your post content.

Once the Divi Builder is activated, you can place the comments module anywhere on your page and online form comments will appear at the location of the module. This gives you much more control over your comments!

How to add a comment module to your page

Before you can add a comment module to your page, you must first access the Divi Builder. Once the Divi theme installed on your website, you will notice a button Use Divi Builder above the publisher each time you create a new page.

By clicking on this button, you activate Divi Builder, which gives you access to all the Divi Builder modules. Then click on the button Use Visual Builder to start the generator in visual mode. You can also click the button Use Visual Builder when you are browsing your upstream website if you are logged in to your WordPress dashboard.

Once entered into Visual Builder, you can click the gray plus button to add a new module to your page. New modules can only be added inside rows. If you are starting a new page, remember to add a row to your page first.

Locate the comments module in the list of modules and click on it to add it to your page. The list of modules is searchable, which means you can also type in the word "comments" and then click enter to automatically find and add the comments module! Once the module is added, you will be greeted with the list of module options. These options are separated into three main groups: Contents , Design et Advanced .

Use case adding a comments section to your blog post

For this example, I'll show you how easy it is to insert and format a comments module in your post using Visual Builder.

Note that the comment section is added below the post content and above a three column footer section. However, the comment module could have been added anywhere.

Using Visual Builder, add a standard section with a full-width row (1 column) below Modules that contain your post content. Then add the Comments module to the row.

Update the comment settings as follows:

Content options

Background color of the fields: #ffffff

Design options

Color of text: Dark
Comment Police: PT Sans
Comment Font Size: 20px
Comment Text color:
Police Field: PT Sans

Width of the border: 1px
Use custom styles for the button: YES
Text Size button: 20
Button text color: #ffffff

Width of the border of
button: 3px

Some items, such as post meta information and avatar images, only appear when you or someone else adds a comment to the post.

That's all. The beauty of this module is that you can add additional content after the comments section (like a call to action or a Contact form), which is not easy to do with a default WordPress.

In the content tab you will find all the content elements of the module, such as text, images and icons. All that controls what appears in your module will always be in this tab.
