Hi, is there an option in GP to disable the WP post comment module? For display purposes, I'd like to use the Post Comments widget inside Elementor instead.

I'm using the latest versions of GP theme, Premium plugin, Elementor and Elementor Pro, plus Jetpack.

Thanks in advance,
Gabrielle

Hi Gabrielle,

Here's an article with regard to Disabling WP comments: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/removing-comments/

Hi Fernando,

thanks for the link. I should have explained it a little better.

Right now, the posts display both the Elementor comments form *and* the generic Wordpress form. When I turn off comments on the post, it turns them both off and doesn't allow people to comment. So I'm looking for a solution to allow people to leave comments on the post by using the Elementor widget while not displaying the generic Wordpress form.

Many thanks,
Gabrielle

I see. Can you try asking Elementor support about this?

For now, the solution I could think of is to use custom CSS.
