CrowMent

Add comments to a Hugo site

Add a comment section with AI moderation to a Hugo blog. One script and one tag in your post template, no build step.

Crowment is a web component, so a Hugo site only needs the embed code in the template that renders a post.

Create a widget

Sign in to Crowment, create a comment widget for your site's domain and copy its app key from Install & Embed.

Copy your post template

Find the template that renders a single post in your theme, usually single.html or page.html under themes/<theme>/layouts/. Copy it to the same path under your site's own layouts/ folder. Hugo uses your copy instead of the theme's, and theme updates won't overwrite your change.

Add the embed code after the content

{{ .Content }}

<script defer src="https://embeds.crowment.com/comments.js"></script>
<crow-comments app-key="YOUR_APP_KEY"></crow-comments>

Build and check

Run hugo server and open a post. Each post gets its own thread, identified by its URL path.

If your theme already calls a comments partial (look for partial "comments.html" in the template), you can put the embed code in that partial instead and leave the template alone.
