Manage Comments on Community Posts in GoHighLevel

Managing comments on your online communities can feel like juggling ClickUp tasks, especially as engagement grows. In GoHighLevel, you have simple, precise controls to enable, limit, or completely disable commenting on your community posts so conversations stay organized, safe, and relevant to your audience.

This guide walks through how to control commenting for individual posts and how it appears to members inside your communities.

Why Control Comments in GoHighLevel Communities

When you use GoHighLevel communities to host discussions, courses, or membership groups, comments can quickly become overwhelming if not moderated. Having the ability to decide where and when people can comment helps you:

• Keep sensitive announcements free from clutter.
• Focus feedback in specific threads.
• Reduce spam or off-topic replies.
• Guide members to the right place for questions.

GoHighLevel gives each post its own commenting setting, so you can fine-tune engagement as you go.

Where Comment Controls Live in GoHighLevel

Comment settings are managed at the post level inside your communities. Any time you create or edit a post, you can decide if members are allowed to comment.

You can access these controls when you are:

• Creating a new post in a community.
• Editing an existing community post.

The option is located directly in the post editor, so you do not have to dig through separate settings or menus.

How to Disable Comments on a GoHighLevel Community Post

To stop members from commenting on a specific post, use the built-in switch in the post editor. Follow these steps:

1. Open the community: Navigate to the community where your post lives inside GoHighLevel.
2. Find your post: Either create a new post or open an existing one to edit.
3. Locate the commenting toggle: In the post editor, look for the option labeled Allow comments.
4. Turn comments off: Click the toggle to switch it off. When it is disabled, new comments cannot be added to that post.
5. Save or update the post: Publish the post or save your changes to apply the new comment setting.

Once this is done, community members will no longer be able to leave replies on that specific post, helping you keep important information clear and distraction-free.

How to Enable Comments on a GoHighLevel Community Post

If you want a post to be open for discussion, you can enable comments using the same control in GoHighLevel.

1. Go to your community: Open the appropriate community in your GoHighLevel account.
2. Open or create the post: Start a new post or edit an existing one.
3. Find the Allow comments switch: In the post editor, locate the Allow comments toggle.
4. Turn comments on: Set the toggle to the on position so members can reply.
5. Save changes: Publish or update the post to make commenting available.

After you enable comments, members will see a reply box or comment option under the post, depending on how your community layout is configured.

What Members See When Comments Are Disabled in GoHighLevel

From the member’s perspective, comment settings are straightforward. When comments are disabled on a GoHighLevel community post:

• There is no comment box displayed under that post.
• Members cannot add new replies to the discussion on that item.
• Existing comments (if any) may remain visible, but no new comments can be added.

This makes it clear which posts are for announcements only and which posts are meant for conversation.

Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel Comment Settings

To maintain a clean and professional community space in GoHighLevel, consider these practices when using the comment controls:

• Disable comments on official announcements, important updates, or critical instructions that you do not want buried under replies.
• Enable comments on posts meant for feedback, Q&A, or discussions related to specific topics or lessons.
• Review settings regularly on older posts to ensure conversations are still relevant and manageable.
• Direct questions to specific posts where comments are enabled to centralize support and reduce duplication.

Using these strategies, you can keep your GoHighLevel communities focused and easy to navigate.

Limitations of Comment Management in GoHighLevel

The comment control for each post is a simple on/off switch. That means:

• You manage comments per post, not globally for the entire community.
• You cannot set advanced rules like limiting the number of comments per user from this setting alone.
• Comment moderation features (such as deleting or reporting specific comments) are separate from the Allow comments toggle.

Even with this straightforward design, the per-post control gives you enough flexibility to keep engagement aligned with your goals.

When to Turn Comments Off in GoHighLevel Communities

Consider turning comments off in GoHighLevel when:

• Sharing time-sensitive announcements where clarity matters.
• Posting terms, policies, or rules that should not be debated in-thread.
• Closing a discussion after a deadline or completed campaign.
• Publishing content that might attract off-topic or repetitive replies.

In those cases, disabling comments helps you maintain structure and keep members focused on active discussions.

When to Keep Comments On in GoHighLevel Communities

Comments are valuable when you need interaction. Keep comments enabled when:

• Running Q&A threads for products, programs, or coaching.
• Collecting feedback on new offers, features, or ideas.
• Hosting challenges or community activities that need participation.
• Encouraging peer support and networking among members.

By intentionally choosing where comments are allowed, you shape the culture and flow of your GoHighLevel community.
