Comment link controls in Elementor

03 / Website use cases
Where to use comment link
Long posts bury the comments at the bottom, and a fixed “View comments” link points at an empty list on posts nobody has answered yet. Comment link jumps to the comments when there are some and to the reply form when there are none, with a label for each, and hides itself on posts closed to comments that have none.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot comment link
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown?
Comments are closed on this post and it has none. Set Text when source is empty to show something there.
Why does it say “Leave a comment”?
The post has no approved comments yet, so the link goes to the comment form.
Why doesn't the page scroll?
Your theme must show the comments section; the link targets the standard #comments and #respond anchors.
Why does the link change colour on hover?
Set the colours you want in the Hover tab of the link style.
Comment link plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it count pending comments?
No. Only approved comments decide which label and target are used.
Can it show the number of comments?
No. Use the Comment count widget for the number.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is a real link with descriptive text and a visible focus style.
Does it add JavaScript?
No. It is a plain link to an anchor on the page.
