Add Comments to Webnode Sites

Webnode's HTML block is what we'll use to embed the comment widget. Since June 26, 2023, this block is a paid Webnode feature: it is not available on the free plan, and projects created after that date need a premium package to use it. If you don't see the HTML option in the editor, upgrade your Webnode plan and it will appear.

Step 1: Edit Your Page Internal Link

First, we need to edit the template of the page we want to add comments to.

Open up the page in Pages and click Edit in the bottom:

It should look like this in the editor:

Webnode does not render HTML blocks inside the editor, so you'll see a placeholder saying the content can't be displayed for security reasons. This is expected. The comment widget only appears once you publish, which we'll do next.

Step 4: Publish Internal Link

Now you can publish your changes to see the comment widget live on your site!

Step Four: Publish

You should now see the FastComments.com Live Commenting widget:
