Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Welcome to the Celestial Pavilion FAQ! Here you'll find answers to common questions about comments, translations, user accounts, privacy, and more. If your question isn't answered here, feel free to contact support@celestial-pavilion.com.

1️⃣ Comments

How do I leave a comment?

You can comment in two ways:

  1. Giscus (GitHub-based) – Requires a GitHub account. Your comment will be stored in a GitHub Discussion.
  2. Ghost Native Comments – Requires a Ghost account, which only needs an email. No passwords are stored by Celestial Pavilion.

Why do I need a GitHub account for Giscus?

Giscus uses GitHub Discussions to store comments. This prevents spam and ensures that only real users can participate.

Can I edit or delete my comments?

  • Giscus: You can edit/delete your comment directly on GitHub.
  • Ghost Comments: You can manage your comments by logging into your Ghost account.

Where can I see all discussions?

  • Giscus comments are stored in GitHub Discussions.
  • Ghost comments remain on the site under the relevant blog posts.
