Step by step

1. The comments block

   wp="comment-list" goes on the block under the post text in single.html. Everything inside becomes the comments template: the heading, the card, the form.

   <section class="comments" wp="comment-list">

2. One card

   Draw exactly one card and mark its parts: avatar comment-avatar, name comment-author, date comment-date, text comment-text, link comment-reply. WordPress repeats it for every comment.

   <div class="comment">
     <img class="comment__avatar" src="images/avatar.png" alt="" wp="comment-avatar">
     <p class="comment__author" wp="comment-author">Anna</p>
     <p class="comment__date" wp="comment-date">October 2</p>
     <div class="comment__text" wp="comment-text">Is the pumpkin latte vegan?</div>
     <a class="comment__reply" href="#" wp="comment-reply">Reply</a>
   </div>

3. The form

   wp="comment-form" on the form, the field marks on the wrappers: comment-input-author, comment-input-email, comment-input-text. The label and the field inside a wrapper travel to the theme together.

   <form class="comment-form" wp="comment-form">
     <div class="field" wp="comment-input-author">
       <label for="name">Name</label>
       <input type="text" id="name" class="input">
     </div>

4. The button

   wp="comment-submit" on the button: the look is yours, WordPress does the sending.

   <button type="submit" class="button" wp="comment-submit">Post comment</button>

5. Product reviews

   The same approach in single-product.html: a wp="review-list" block, the same comment marks in the card, plus the rating review-rating and the badge review-verified.

   <div class="review__stars" wp="review-rating"><div class="review__stars-fill"></div></div>
   <span class="review__badge" wp="review-verified">Verified buyer</span>

6. The review form

   wp="review-form" goes inside the reviews block, always. The rating field is review-input-rating: an empty <select> gets the options 1 to 5 by itself.

   <form class="review-form" wp="review-form">
     <div class="field" wp="review-input-rating">
       <label for="rating">Rating</label>
       <select id="rating" class="input"></select>
     </div>

What matters

• Allowing comments and turning on moderation is done in Settings → Discussion.
• Replies get the classes tf-comment-depth-2, tf-comment-depth-3. Set the indent with your own CSS. In Webflow, put it in Project settings → Custom code: a class that is on no element is dropped on publishing, rule and all.
• The rating has a --tf-rating variable: the width of the colored star strip is calc(var(--tf-rating) / 5 * 100%). An empty rating element shows the number.
• The review-verified badge shows only on a review from someone who bought the product.

Common mistakes

The build log is the “Logs” tab of your project on themeforge.pro; the free markup check shows the same notes.
