Cove comments width setting

[Jeff_Snell]

I’m adding Cove comments to Ghost running Edition theme. The comment part at the bottom of each post is full page width and I want it to me the same width as the copy. Is there a generic setting to set the width of the comments section? I’m not a programmer, but I am a mean cutandpaster if anyone can provide some guidance, it would be welcomed. Thanks!

Hey @Jeff_Snell could you please provide an URL showing the problem?

Hi. Thanks for taking a look:

Move the Cove items up under the below DIV so the comments block is nestled inside the rest of the page content…

<div class="single-content gh-content kg-canvas">

Lost me already. Sorry… such a noob. Where would this be located? Here is what my post.hbs file contains: I inserted the " {{> comments}}" statement where indicated by the Cove install instrux.

{{!< default}}

{{#post}} {{> content width="wide"}} {{> comments}} {{/post}} {{#is "post"}} {{#if @custom.show_related_posts}} {{> related}} {{/if}} {{> comment}} {{/is}}

{{#contentFor “body_class”}}{{#if @site.cover_image}} with-alt-header{{/if}}{{/contentFor}}

No worries – we’re all noobs way more than we’re not!

So here’s what I’ve got for the post.hbs in the Edition theme…

{{!< default}}

<div class="content-area">
    <main class="site-main">
        {{#post}}
            {{> content width="wide"}}
        {{/post}}
        {{#is "post"}}
            {{#if @custom.show_related_posts}}
                {{> related}}
            {{/if}}
            {{> comment}}
        {{/is}}
    </main>
</div>

{{#contentFor "body_class"}}{{#if @site.cover_image}} with-alt-header{{/if}}{{/contentFor}}

Change it to this…

{{!< default}}

<div class="content-area">
    <main class="site-main">
        {{#post}}
            {{> content width="wide"}}
            
                {{#if access}}
                    <div class="comment container small">
                        If you want to embed comments, this is a good place to do it!
                    </div>
                {{/if}}
            
        {{/post}}
        {{#is "post"}}
            {{#if @custom.show_related_posts}}
                {{> related}}
            {{/if}}

        {{/is}}
    </main>
</div>

{{#contentFor "body_class"}}{{#if @site.cover_image}} with-alt-header{{/if}}{{/contentFor}}

So you are just adding the following snippet in between…

{{> content width="wide"}}

and

{{/post}}

Of course, then replace

If you want to embed comments, this is a good place to do it!

with your comments code snippet!
