My comments are duplicated

Hi there,

are you using an Elementor Single Post template? If so what happens if you remove the Comments Widget from the template and the above CSS and just let the Theme Comments show ?

Hey David,

Thanks for your answer.

I am not using Elementor Single Post, I am using a blank page I built from scratch using Elementor.

On my template I just drag and drop the "Post Comments" element from Elementor.

I think the theme is loading comments in addition to Elementor's.

When I remove this code from my CSS I have the comments repeated twice:

article + .comments-area {
display: none;
}

My issue comes from long ago in this post: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/problem-with-comments-section-strange-gap/

I though it was solved until recently I realized the comments are loading twice so it makes my website go much slowly.

I hope I can fix that.

Thanks !!

So what is wrong with just displaying the Themes comment area ?

The issue here is that my comments are being displayed twice.

What i do with the CSS is just hiding it but my website is loading the comments 2 times all the time, making it go quite slow to load a page.

I would just like to load the comments one time like it should be, that way my page is less heavy and loads much faster.

I hope I explained myself now sorry :)

Thanks.

I understand. What i mean is - Why don't you remove the Elementor Post Comments Widget and just display the Theme Comments ?

Hey David,

It took me the whole day but I solved it in the end.

When I use Elementor's shortcode I can customize it easier than the theme's. Moreover I don't really like WP comments and I use wpDiscuz.

I just had some pages that for some reason were set at Theme's default instead of Elementor Full Width. That's why I was getting my comments doubled.

I have had this for months until I realized right now.

Now it loads much faster.

Thanks for the help like always !

Glad to hear that and thanks for sharing the solution :)
