Five‑Minute Comment Box — How I Finally Got Comments on Hostinger working

Even with the detours, the whole job took about five minutes.

1️⃣ The wild goose chase

• Switch? There’s still no native “enable comments” toggle in Hostinger Website Builder.

• Template mirage: Documentation kept mentioning a Blog post template page, but it never surfaced in my Pages list. After ten minutes of clicking every menu, I concluded it simply doesn’t exist in my site setup.

2️⃣ Widget showroom

I compared Disqus, FastComments, Common Ninja, and POWR. POWR’s free tier (one instance, 250 views‑per‑month, 30 stored comments) suits a small site like mine.

3️⃣ First—and final—installation attempt

1. Opened Blog → Post #1 in the editor.

2. Add element → Embed code at the bottom of the post.

3. Pasted the POWR snippet (don’t delete the powr.js?platform=hostinger line!).

4. Hit Publish and verified the widget on the live site.

5. Copy section ➜ paste into Post #2 and Post #3.

That’s it. Three quick pastes, three working comment boxes.

4️⃣ The GTM detour

I considered firing the widget via Google Tag Manager for version control, but decided the overhead wasn’t worth it for a single comments box. Maybe later if I’m juggling more scripts.

5️⃣ Take‑aways

• No template? No problem—just paste the code into each post. With only a few articles it’s painless, and I can always copy the section into new posts as I publish them.

• Third‑party scripts don’t render inside the builder preview; always test the live URL.

• GTM is great for fleets of tags, but for one widget a plain embed keeps things lighter and easier to debug.

Word is out—say hi in the shiny new comment box below this post if you’re reading on Spun by AI! 😉
