Add comment guidelines to Comment form

We are building a new web website at https://vjw.2c8.myftpupload.com that will become https://thevalleycitizen.com. We would like to add comment guidelines such as, “Comments must be no longer than 350 words…” Ideally, we would like to add this at the top of the form. How do I do that? Thanks so much!

Hi,

You can add an inline text with instructions above the comments section.

Thank you!

Thanks, but how?

Hello,

I recommend to use cloud templates and flex block instead of the blocks 1 to 25.
You need to import a single post template, design it if you want and with tagDiv Composer you can add the inline text ->

I’m sorry… I’m still at a bit of a loss. Exactly how do I import a single post template? How do I access and use tagDiv composer?

UPDATE: I have found a number of Single Post Templates by going to Theme Panel > Cloud Library. Although, none of the previews seem to include the Leave a Comment form–I trust that the form is available but just not shown in the previews. What I want to do is very simple, and I even added the line of text to the comments.php file, and it worked. But, the comment guidelines disappeared when I had to activate the tagDiv Cloud Library and tagDiv Composer plugins to make the mobile-width menu work. We have worked very hard on getting the single posts to look the way we want them. Is there any way we can do what we want without starting over with a new single page template? Thanks so much for your patience and help.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don’t understand exactly what problem you are having so that I can help you efficiently. Until now, haven’t you had tagDiv Composer and tagDiv Cloud Library active? Also, you don’t need to make changes in the theme files, because these changes will be deleted with each update. You can add that text as I mentioned above. Do you want a video? Have you checked our documentation on how to import a single post template https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/ ? Check our documentation here https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/

Thank you!

Thanks for sticking with me on this.

The tagDiv Cloud Library and tagDiv Composer plugins were deactivated temporarily due to a plugin conflict. But then, the mobile-width menu did not work. Once the plugin conflict was solved, I re-activated tagDiv Cloud and tagDiv Composer.

A video would be great, please and thank you.

I have now reviewed the documentation pages you linked above, including the videos there.

I think I have a better understanding of what is going on, but, unfortunately, we have another complication. When I try to access the Cloud Library, I am seeing “error” messages because we are operating under a staging/temporary domain name. The messages say, “Envato key is alright, but it is not assigned to the current domain. Just assign it and then you are ready to enjoy the full benefits. If you need help, please to contact us at contact@tagdiv.com”. It really would be better if the permanent domain name, which will be thevalleycitizen.com, could stay as the assigned domain name. Does that mean we can’t work any more on the header, footer, and comments form until after we launch?

Thanks, again.

Hello,

For license please go to my license and assign the license on the website -> https://imgur.com/i3d3D5I

SUCCESS! I have created my header, footer, and single post template from blank templates. Everything seems to be working fine now. I have one last question: We will be changing to the permanent domain thevalleycitizen.com soon. How do I add thevalleycitizen.com to the system so that we can assign our Newspaper theme to the permanent domain? Thanks so much! This has been a bit of a journey for you and for us.

Hi,

You can activate the license on the two websites, one for testing/staging and one done live.
Using the import/export option from the theme will allow you to import only the theme panel settings, the cloud templates go in tool > export – https://i.imgur.com/3Wxk885.png then to import you need to go in tool > import, then install the wordpress importer and click on run import – https://i.imgur.com/tyxoVvg.png

Thank you!
