Liquid Stack keeps the Waline comment component, while its example URL is not connected to a real backend.

Prepare a server

Deploy your own service by following the official Waline documentation. When you have its URL, replace the sample value at params.comments.waline.serverURL in hugo.yaml.

Enable or disable comments

Set params.comments.enabled to true to enable comments. Individual posts can still use comments: false, which is useful for privacy pages, documentation, or announcements.

Test before release

Check that the comment box appears below a post locally, then test submission, moderation, and notifications after deployment. Keep server URLs, tokens, and administrator settings in your own environment rather than in a public theme example.
