Webflow Commenting for Fitness Sites
Supercharge your Webflow fitness site with comment sections, creating an empowering environment that motivates your users to reach their goals with support from your fitness community.
Community Support and Motivation
Comments allow members to support and motivate each other towards their fitness goals, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.
Sharing of Tips and Advice
Experienced users can share workout tips, nutrition advice, and personal experiences, providing valuable information and inspiration to others.
Accountability and Progress Tracking
Users can post their fitness progress and goals in the comments, creating a sense of accountability and receiving encouragement from the community.
Diverse Perspectives and Inclusivity
A commenting feature brings together users from diverse backgrounds, promoting inclusivity and a wide range of perspectives on fitness and health.
How it works
Add fully customizable commenting to a Webflow project. No coding is required; it's maintenance-free and comes with built-in moderation features, permission, user accounts, edit, delete, and reply functionality. Notifications, real-time commenting, and public profiles are in the roadmap.

Getting Started
We recommend starting with one of our cloneables - we've already released one for blog comments, one for live stream comments, and one for video comments. Click here for the full list of cloneable components.
Commenting will be a paid add-on - however, any paid Memberstack apps with at least one comment before January 1, 2024, will have raised limits on the free plan and heavily discounted pricing - for life!
Structure/Overview
There are something like 60 unique attributes in the commenting UI, so be very careful when updating the HTML structure. Frequent testing will be key to avoiding frustrating debugging sessions.
Each commenting section is called a "Channel" and has an attribute of data-ms-channel="". If the Channel ID is empty, then Memberstack will look to the page slug to decide where to save the comments, and when to load them. Inside of a channel are your posts and threads.
Public Custom Fields
Ensure that custom fields used in your commenting UI are marked as 'public'. This allows you to build your own usernames displayed with comments using the data attributes:
Note: If the field value is empty, the default text in your commenting UI will appear instead.
data-ms-post-creator="Your_Field_id"
data-ms-thread-creator="Your_Field_id"
Ordering Posts & Threads
Utilize the two available attributes to adjust the order as needed.
data-ms-channel-sort="newest" // default is oldest
data-ms-thread-sort="newest" // default is oldest
Pagination
Use the following attributes to set the maximum number of posts or threads to load at a time.
data-ms-post-load="100" // default 50 & max 100
data-ms-thread-load="100" // default 20 & max 100
Multiple Sections Per Page
If you want to display multiple commenting sections on a single page you'll need to manually set the Channel ID using the data-ms-channel="Your_Channel_ID" attribute.
Waiting for Moderation
If you enable moderation settings in the dashboard, or flag a comment as spam/hidden, we will display a message to the commenter. Place the following attributes on a div containing your "Wait for Moderation" prompt. Note there are 2 attributes. 1 for posts and 1 for threads.
data-ms-post="hidden"
data-ms-thread="hidden"
Constraints
Max character count for a post or thread is 5,000 characters.
Formatting is unavailable at this time.
Creating Moderators
In Memberstack's dashboard, admins can grant 'moderator' roles to members. Moderators have the authority to edit or delete any post, ensuring a clean and positive community environment.
Improved Conversion Rates
People writing comments are more engaged and exposed to positive feedback from other commenters, boosting the likelihood that they’ll follow calls to action.
Keeps Your Content Fresh
The comment section streamlines minor content additions and clarification based on user feedback. This helps keep your content fresh without the burden of republishing.
Boosted Credibility and Trust
A busy comment section tells users your content is worth engaging with and provides social proof boosting trust in your brand.
Improved SEO Performance
Your users’ feedback can be a source of additional context for search engines like Google. By discussing your content in their own words, users help search engines understand what your content is about.
