How to: Integrate Disqus manually on Blogger/Blogspot

Once again, the community lends us a hand. This one comes from Laibcoms (thanks!).

We recommend only advance users and tinkerers attempt this one. If you’re having any problems with our Blogger integration tool, try this guide on manually editing the template.

Of course, we do plan on releasing an improved integration tool in a near-future release.

[UPDATE] Laibcoms also has another guide for integrating Disqus with Blogger classic templates.

  • Wow, thanks for the mention!
    Glad to be of help :D

    @Nathan, yep can't agree more. A good customer service (Company to customers) and a good support from the community (customers to Company) with a good product is a formula for success in today's very competitive environment.

    Keep it up! More power!

  • Daniel,

    Is there a guide/instructions for setting-up Disqus on Tumblr?
  • Found it and installed it, thanks.

  • This is great, but before I even attempt to add this to my blogger blog, I have a few questions. 1) Does the comment system pop up inside the blogger template, like this one, or does it open a new window? 2) Also, if you have used another comment system in the past (read: Haloscan) do you have to lose all of the comments on the old posts?

  • A) in the template

    B) If you can export it from Haloscan, you're fine
  • I think I can export it, but does it have to be in a certain format to enable importing into Disqus?. Can you export comments from Disqus if in the future you want to move on to another platform?
  • Yup, you can.

  • Haven't read this post before, but I managed to integrate disqus with blogger while at the same time I am writing a petty tutorial here: http://gausarts.blogspot.com/2008/06/integratin....

    I had to wait a few minutes or so to see my disqus start to display on my blogger. I see a little problem, though, that the disqus text area box doesn't appear when there is a comment, so it reverts to default blogger comment system. In other posts without comments it appears nicely. I have to dig more I guess
  • Hi there,

    Did you choose to integrate Disqus for all comments or just future
    comments?
  • Hi there,

    Did you choose to integrate Disqus for all comments or just future
    comments?
  • As suggested, in order not to override existing comments, I chose for future only. Will that be a problem? Thanks as always, Daniel

  • Hi, Daniel, sorry if this is OOT. Would you please check this: http://gausarts.disqus.com/poisons/#comment-761044

    The image doesn't appear in my dashboard. What should I do or it's supposed to be so? Thanks

    My Disqus comments strip the hyperlink and the tags show up in the text.

    Is there a way to enable the links in the comments?
  • I was able to leave a comment with a link. =)

    Oh, I see.
    I will reply to see if my link works.

    It does.

    This link, however, did not (4th comment down).

    I can't figure out what I'm doing different?

    I'm replying from the Chrome browser - is that a known issue?

    G,
    I don't think it's Chrome.

    Threaded conversations automatically shorten line length.

    I turned of threaded conversations to see if that would help.

  • The links are not working because you have tags in front of them like
    "<"

    Why is it only for advance users? I am not good in manual integration and hope there is help out there!I have used blogger for numerous years and I didn't make use of their comment systems as it doesn't seems useful to me. Guides for novice on Blogger integration please!
  • Ryan Low
    I am still awaiting for the improved integration tool! Or it's already out and I've missed it! A suggestion here! Probably by enabling trackbacks, Is it possible if trackbacks we related topics are included as well? And so we are able to track forward as well!
  • jonaw
    It's good to see that disqus gives credit to the volunteers who came up with guides. Is it really that difficult that the guides are only for advance users? I am not very good at it but hope that there is still help to assist me through.
