How to add comments to page with custom layout from the Layout Builder

[vnp]

I can force comments on pages, that works. Used the code

function activate_page_comments( $setup ) {
    $setup['comments']['pages'] = true;
    return $setup;
}
add_filter( 'themeblvd_global_config', 'activate_page_comments' );

But as soon as I choose a custom layout, the comment field disappears. Is there anyway to force the comments on custom layout pages as well?

Hello,

A custom layout doesn’t have anything to do with the default page template and so there’s no way for this to work and display comments.

You may be able to create an element for the layout builder that you could then add into your custom layout using the Layout Builder API.

For example, possibly something like this may do the trick:

/**
 * Register comments element
 */
themeblvd_add_builder_element( 'my_comments', 'Comments', 'none', array(), 'my_display_comments' );

/**
 * Display comments element
 */
function my_display_comments( $id, $options, $location ) {
    comments_template();
}
