Overview
Common Ninja's Comments widget adds a comments section to any Squarespace page, not just blog posts, so visitors can leave and reply to comments.
What it does
- Threaded comments and replies
- Moderation tools in your Common Ninja dashboard
- Styling to match your site
- Embeds with a code block
Who it suits
Communities, educators, publishers and creators who want discussion on pages Squarespace's blog comments do not cover.
Honest caveats
Open comments attract spam, so plan to moderate regularly. Squarespace already offers comments on blog posts. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. It needs a Squarespace Core plan or higher.
Common Ninja’s Comments widget assumes you already live in the Squarespace 7.1 editor and want clearer control over interface components inside Squarespace pages. The copy points to accordions and tabs, calls to action, and consistent styling with your theme as the main levers.
Implementation-wise, you’re still working with Squarespace’s native structure—this is positioned as an extension of the editor, not a parallel stack.
If your site mixes ui components patterns with other add-ons, skim Common Ninja’s documentation for known interactions and version support.

Worth a look when accordions and tabs and calls to action are on your roadmap and you want consistent styling with your theme without leaving Squarespace 7.1.
