I am trying to embed Commento into my blog using the html embed. I copied and pasted the embed code at the end of a post to try it out, and nothing loads. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. [image] Commento: Home Commento lets you embed comments without giving up your privacy. It's fast, …

Hi @yungleary ! So you’ll have to change some of the code around that they give you since you cannot embed scripts into posts. So if they give you something like this: <div id="commento"></div> <script defer src="https://cdn.commento.io/js/commento.js"> </script> Go into the Custom JS of your b…

Thanks! How does my blog recognize which script src to draw upon? Just curious the coding behind how this works, in case I want to include other custom JS.
