A useful existing discussion below a tutorial. Learn when to use Comments List, follow a practical setup, and diagnose common problems.

2 min read · Updated 30 September 2026

Practice recipe based on public documentation; the Breakdance extension is not installed here.

What it does and when to use it

Displays existing WordPress comments. Use it for the specific job described below. If a simpler native element can deliver the same outcome, prefer the simpler structure and fewer competing styles.

Before you start

This is a Breakdance catalogue recipe for use with a compatible Breakdance Elements for Oxygen extension. It is not a guarantee of availability in your version. Check the installed element list and official reference before following the steps. Exact control labels can differ; this recipe has not been executed on this site.

Worked example: A useful existing discussion below a tutorial

Scenario: A useful existing discussion below a tutorial. The goal is a useful result on a real project, not a claim that this scenario was a completed client project.

  1. Use the current post's real comments.
  2. Keep author, date and reply hierarchy readable without overpowering the article.
  3. Test an empty discussion, a long comment and nested replies.

Expected result

You should have a useful existing discussion below a tutorial. Verify the result on the frontend using the same content or object described in the steps. A correct builder preview alone does not establish that links, data or interactions work for visitors.

Troubleshooting

If comments from another post appear, check the current-post context. Moderate spam through WordPress rather than hiding it with CSS.

Checks before publishing

Use real text and assets rather than a perfect placeholder. Check a long label, narrow screen and empty-data state before publishing.

  • Compare desktop and narrow-screen layouts using actual content.
  • Follow every destination and operate interactive controls with a keyboard where applicable.
  • Check an empty or unavailable-data state when the element depends on a provider.

Official reference and version notes

Official Comments List reference provides the current provider information. This is independent, AI-assisted documentation on Benjamin Olsen’s website; examples are clearly identified as practice recipes.

Check extension element visibility in Oxygen. An element may be hidden where a native equivalent exists.
