Thank you for showing your support for this, Phil. I appreciate it!
@Phil1 thank you for your interest, and welcome to the community!
Itās great to see that so many people are waiting for this widget, I guess this fact is a decent reason to induce our devs to start thinking about the development. Iāll keep you in the loop
I would appreciate having the āBest Comments Boxā widget. Currently, on top of paying for my Elfsite monthly subscription, Iām also paying $12 USD ($18 AUD) per month for a comments widget from another provider, which is barely affordable for me!
Oh, I totally feel you, @Dannii, many thanks for sharing!
Letās hope our devs will pay a closer attention to this request, and Iāll make sure to keep you updated here.
Thank you very much for your help, and welcome to the community!
This feature would be perfect!
Iām actually interested in a Comment type widget also. Iād like to have my members be able to comment directly on the website instead of completing a form and having me input the info manually.
Many thanks for your comment, Mike!
Yeah, it seems a lot of users would benefit from such a widget, and I myself also love this idea
It seems Iāve got to talk the devs into it!
Thatās not a bad idea actually. In the successful message you can just have ācomment pending reviewā hah
Hey. This is my first time here. Iām appalled at how such an ugly widget and ONE with FB comments survived in such a portal that has pretty dizzying widgets. Why isnāt there anything more normal and up-to-date yet? What can be done to speed it up?
Hi @Rafal_Witkowski, happy to see you in our community, welcome!
I totally understand your frustration regarding the comments widget, Iām really sorry that we cannot offer a decent solution for the time being
The thing is that weāre a relatively small company, and weāre really struggling with releasing new cool features/widgets at the desired pace. Weāre planning on releasing at least 10 new widgets during this year, but Iām afraid a widget for comments is not in the list as of yet, Iām really sorry about it
Itās true that we pay a closer attention to the most popular requests first, but we also have to keep in mind the development complexity when prioritizing tasks, hence the outcome.
I keep reminding our devs about this widget request though, and I do believe it will produce an effect.
Many thanks for your comment, itās important hearing from you!
I have created a page (using your pdf widget) on creative writing where children write and upload their articles. I felt this would be much more interactive if I could place a widget below where they can comment and provide feedback on eachothers article.
I am glad to have found this website. It has helped me a lot to run my website on creative writing. An initiative for children.
@Sandip_Chowdhury thanks a lot for sharing your use case and for joining our community! Welcome
Yes, a Comments widget seems to be quite a desirable one, hopefully, weāll give it a go!
Well, still no Blog Comments feature so itās time for me to move on . My annual Elfsight Pro Pack plan is up for renewal in a few days. For the first time since I joined in March 2021, I wonāt be renewing, sadly.
Although I use a few of the other widgets, theyāre not crucial to my business and I canāt keep justifying my Elfsight payment when the main thing I was here for was the āComing Soonā blog comments.
No hard feelings, just sad it couldnāt be accomplished. Thank you, @Helga, for always being so welcoming, and for helping with my questions and requests. I appreciate you! Wishing all of my fellow business owners great success! xo
@Erika Iām so very sorry to hear that, Erica! But I understand your reasons and, to be honest, Iām myself really upset that we havenāt developed the Comments widget yet.
Thank you very much for all your support and kind words! I do hope to see you back one day
Looking for a widget that will add a comment section to my website.
Happy to inform you that we have such a widget in our Coming Soon project. Iāve moved your comment to the dedicated discussion where weāll post all the updates
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and welcome to Community!
Comments having been āComing Soonā since at least 2021 when I joined. Unless something has changed recently, theyāre not on the product roadmap (please see my interactions here with Helga). I wish theyād take that ācoming soonā down as itās misleading and potentially false advertising?
Hey Erica, thatās quite fair, Iām really sorry that our coming soon page turned out to be somewhat misleading. I know that weāre going to revise this page so that it doesnāt look so encouraging.
Thank you for your comment!
can someone just give me and eta on this thing I use this app for everything on my website but no comments still
@user3906, happy to see you on our forum!
Much as Iād love to give you an ETA, Iām afraid we donāt have it as of yet, Iām really sorry
We do love the idea of making a widget for comments, but for the time being itās still in the status of an idea only. We really hope weāll finally consider its developments and set concrete timeline, and Iāll be happy to give an update here as soon as I have any info in this regard.
Thank you for your interest!
