Default behavior and customization

By default, comments will be enabled on all pages. You have two ways to customize this behavior:

Hide comments on specific pages

To hide comments on a single page, add showComments: false to the page's frontmatter:

---
title: Page Without Comments Section
showComments: false
---

Show comments only on specific pages

If you prefer to enable comments only on specific pages, you can:

1. Hide comments site-wide by setting showComments: false in your site's config file:

{
  "showComments": false  // Disable comments site-wide (if you want to enable them only on specific pages)
}

2. Enable comments on specific pages by setting showComments: true in their frontmatter:

---
title: My Page With Comments Section
showComments: true
---
