As I mentioned earlier that this article makes it easier for you to add comments to a website despite your coding ability. There are two main methods to add comments to a website.
Adding (Embedding) Comments to a Website Using HTML Code
We have native plugins for WordPress and Blogger. If you are using any of those platforms, please jump to the "Installing Comments with Plugins" section below.
Let's see how to install comments on your website with our HTML installation code. This process is not a big deal.
Go to Moderate -> Install in the console, and then you will see different installing options. As we are now going to install Hyvor Talk using the HTML code, you should click on Manual Installation.
When you click the Manual Installation, you can see the HTML code specially generated by Hyvor Talk for your website. Just copy the given code and paste it on your website's code where you desire to have comments.
Now, go to your website's source code and paste the code in the place where you need to have comments. For example, the perfect position would be after the article and before the footer, if it's a blog.
That's it! Quite simple, isn't it?
Defining Page IDs (Optional)
By default, we identify pages by the canonical URL of your website (Most new CMSs/blogging platforms set this correctly). If you need, you can manually tell us what identifier to use.
In the installation code, replace the secondÂ
false (after id:) with a unique ID for the page. Ex:Âid:"1125". This makes sure you'll have the comments on the page even if the URL of the page changes.
You can learn more about embed code and configurations from our documentation.
Tip: Whitelisting Multiple Domains & Getting Your Website ID
You can only access the comments from the domains you whitelist in the Moderate -> General section. You can add alternative domains to your website there. You can see your website's ID there too.
Yay! you did it!
