Comments on Joomla Articles are not working

Hello,

I installed the latest Joomla 5 with several languages and installed CB Quickstart (the first time it installed with errors, because some directories were not created, the second time the installation went fine). A comment line appears under Joomla articles and when I click on “post” nothing happens, but the likes work.

My next question is how to disable this line and is it possible to add it only for certain categories with articles?

I found the answer
www.joomlapolis.com/forum/professional-members-support/244426-solved-remove-comments-form-specific-pages-on-community
But I don’t understand how Exclude/Include Context works and how to leave only comments in some categories, and only likes in others, and in others both options.

Nothing happening when the button is clicked generally means the JavaScript is being blocked by something. Press F12 to open your browsers developer tools. Now click the Console tab. Next refresh the article page and see if there are any errors in the console (they'll be colored red). If not then try posting and again see if there are any errors (again they'll be colored red) and provide those errors here in a reply.

Navigate to System > Manage > Plugins then edit "Content - CB Activity" now under "Comments and Likes" tab you include/exclude contexts, categories, articles, and even authors of articles from commenting/likes functionality.

When I try to post a comment, the following error appears:

This is what I found, I don’t understand what context is and how I can turn off comments, but leave likes, if possible.     

I tested this on a fresh installation of Joomla 5 with multilingual, nothing other than Community Buider with Quickstart is installed anymore and I get the same 401 error.

When I try to post a comment, the following error appears:

Navigate to System > Manage > Plugins then edit "Content - CB Activity" and under "Comments" ensure "Stream" is set to "Articles".

You'd need to look into Joomla API regarding this. I've no idea what view you're trying to turn comments off on. For example when directly viewing an article its context is com_content.article. Everything in Joomla basically has a context applied to it to determine where a Joomla event was fired. You can also just exclude by category id as I understood that's what you were wanting. This will exclude for both Comments and Likes though there is no functionality to just exclude 1 of those features.
