Blogs are a great way to reach out to audiences and create a community. They\u2019re also important marketing channels for selling your expertise, products, services, etc. Blogs have been around for a long time, and one of the most essential features of the blog is the comments section.<\/p>\n
The comments section gives readers the chance to take part in the conversation. They can thank the author for their suggestions, advice, or ask further questions. Some commentators might also make their own recommendations to the topic that you\u2019ve discussed.<\/p>\n
However, that doesn\u2019t always mean that comments are a positive experience for your Shopify blog. Sometimes controversial subjects can get negative responses from audiences. Or bots can overload your comments section with irrelevant content and outbound links that could be harmful to your brand and anyone wanting to click on the link.<\/p>\n
To prevent abuse of the comments section there are three options that you can use on Shopify: allow all comments, allow comments after moderation or disable all comments. These options can be enabled or disabled by you.<\/p>\n
Here are the steps to enable all or disable comments on your Shopify blog.<\/p>\n
Login to your Shopify store using your store credentials.<\/p>\n
From the Shopify admin dashboard, click on the \u2018Online Store\u2019 option. This is located under the \u2018Sale Channels\u2019 section in the left hand menu options. From there you should select \u2018Blog Posts\u2019 to take you through to the blog management screen.<\/p>\n
Now you will see two options within the screen, \u2018Manage Blogs\u2019 and \u2018Manage Comments\u2019. You want to select the \u2018Manage Comments\u2019 option.<\/p>\n
Shopify sites allow you to have as many blogs as you want on each store. So each blog can have different settings. So click on the title of the blog that you want to edit.<\/p>\n
In the blog details page, you will need to scroll down the settings until you find the option that reads \u2018Comments\u2019. In this section you can select the option that you want most from the three previous mentioned (allowing all comments, allow comments after moderation and disable comments).<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve made your selection, you can click on the \u2018Save\u2019 option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
