ctuxboy In the meantime, I eventually found Vuukle to be a satisfactory solution for a comment system. It is free of charge for small sites. There's an annoying issue with image thumbnails on the related posts section, but you can easily fix this by switching number of items to appear in the "Talk of the Town" section to 0.
Here's an example of where we are using this system: https://www.yorkshire-humber.peoplesparliament.uk/westminster/demand-covid-costs-from-china.
You will see that is is quite lightweight and loads quickly. For implementation you just need to do 2 things on each page where you want the comments:
- Paste the same code on every page in the HTML/Markdown box:
`<!-- COMMENTS POWERBAR: Place it where you want SHARES to be displayed -->
<div class="vuukle-powerbar"></div>
<!-- COMMENTS WRAPPER: Place it where you want comments to be displayed -->
<div id="vuukle-comments"></div>`
- Paste the same code on every page in the
Items Header box:
<script type="text/javascript">
var VUUKLE_CONFIG = {
apiKey: "GET-THIS-FROM-YOUR-VUUKLE-DASHBOARD",
articleId: "SOME-UNIQUE-CHARACTERS-HERE",
img: "",
tags: "",
recommendationsProtocol: 'https://www.',
};
// DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
(function() {
var d = document,
s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = 'https://cdn.vuukle.com/platform.js';
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
})();
</script>
I hope this is as helpful to others as it has been to me.
