Any chance you could set it up such that WordPress alerts us when new versions of the disqus plugin are available? I really like that feature and haven't seen it taken advantage of by disqus (yet).

The incremental fixes to Disqus are still labeled as 2.0 and will always be available on that page. It's meant for people who absolutely need to have the latest fixes.

Once we have everything is together, we'll release a 2.01.

I think Bob is meaning is there a chance you could add the plugin to the wordpress plugin site so that when you release any future upgrades it is available in the plugin section as a one click upgrade. I don't think I have explained it very well but if you check it out, I am sure you will see what bob means. It would be great to have one click upgrading.

Great product by the way!

i had like that ability too. i hate plugins which are still hosted on third party sites.

Bingo - that makes it easy (and instant) to actually upgrade without FTP and file download.

This sounds neat. How does it hold up against spam?

It uses the same 3rd-party spam filtering as the first version. Most users are very happy with the level of spam protection.

There was also an issue with duplicate comments being synced back to WordPress. This has been fixed in the latest 2.0 package, but we will provide instructions on removing these duplicate comments with the release of 2.01.

Very cool. Thanks for the quick fixes. Maybe you could also release a XTHML VALID version very soon? It's mostly about missing alt-declarations in img-tags as well as ending img tags with /> Also the & in the avatar_url have to be str_replace('&','&',blabla and the <link CSS>-tag has to be included in an add_action('wp_header',functionwiththelinkdeclaration');

Thanks alot for fixing this!

P.S.: Any chance to include some simple sanitize-rule in the comments..? i.e.
becomes
and so on.

Hey guys, I think your upgrade did this, my comments page is all ugly now.

http://angrysummerquietfall.blogspot.com/2008/0...

It used to be white on black and now it's black on white. I don't know how to change this?

It looks fine to me

I cant' get the [speech bubble + 7 Comments] link to work properly now. I upgraded the plugin and it won't display the number at all. What code is being used to call up those numbers?

Are you referring to http://microblink.com?

I see the comment count show up fine.

I changed it back to the previous version of Disqus because it
wouldn't show on Disqus 2.0

So do I export my comments again using the latest version? Won't that create duplicates for the 80-odd that have already been exported?

OK, I didn't do anything, and my comments in Disqus are now at 407. But they're doubled up in the Wordpress admin console...

Where is the Blogger version? :)

Blogger is still supported, as always.

Yes but when will it be upgraded to this new version?

Will the 2.01 release and all future releases be available as an update through the Wordpress plugin notification function?

The new plugin works great and I have found Disqus to the best commenting system available for Wordpress. Best wishes!

Kris

It will be, absolutely.

OK, I've installed DISQUS into my WordPres 2.6 blog, set all the settings, and told it to use DISQUS on all current and future blog posts. All my posts say they have no comments.

Presumably, there is something I have to do to make it import my existing 7,000 comments, but I don't see any instructions. There's an Export comments to DISQUS on the Advanced Options, but when I click it I'm taken to a wp-admin/edit-comments.php?page=disqus page that's blank and nothing changes. Still no comments on the blog.

Is this supposed to work?

Apparently the copy at the top of this page is there just to make us think there is an import feature. From other posts I have read, there is NO WAY TO IMPORT COMMENTS INTO DISGUS.

Plus on the SEO end, yes it great to be able to sync your comments to third party sites, but your going to run into duplicate Content Issues. When google decided who to award the search result to it is going to be the site with the highest PR. More than likely that's not going to be your blog and that means your blog just disappears from the search engine :(

Same question here.

I'm not using WordPress, so I'm using the generic code integration. Is there going to be anyway for me to import comments into Disqus? That's the only thing holding me off from integrating this into my sites.

I tried installing to WP2.6. Any reply to a Disqus comment kicks the post back to the WP comment system.

Also please add basic HTML formatting functionality.

You need to change the setting under Advanced Options to use Disqus on
all posts.

Or I can just not use Disqus. I'm not discarding 3,500 comments.

Thanks anyway.

Sorry I wasn't clear.

1) You can import all of your comments into Disqus.
2) You need to change the setting I mentioned earlier.
3) Disqus will be used on all posts, with comments being in the Disqus system as well.

Is importing only available for the WP plugin? If so, that needs to be made more clear.

What about those of us using 'other' systems?

Hi farra, we only mention importing for the the newly released WP
plugin. Could you indicate where this is confusing? I'd like to change
that.

I'm running WP2.6 and getting an "Unexpected Error" when I try to configure in disqus -

Any thoughts on trouble shooting?

Where do you get this error?

Could you list the exact build number of the plugin? It's located in
the readme.

Hi, Daniel.

Here's the build number:


Disqus WordPress Plugin

Version 2.0-2528 (August 13, 2008)

Jonathan

"Issues with the RSS feed (FeedBurner)" should read "Issues with the RSS/Atom feed". When 2.0 is activated, it's adding a Javascript SCRIPT tag to the end of the feed, completely breaking the feeds.

Update: looks like function <tt>dsq_comment_count()</tt> in <tt>wp-content/plugins/disqus/disqus.php</tt> is triggered.

Ah yes, the conditional is currently…

...else if ( (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) ) {...

but should be

...else if ( (is_single() || is_page() || is_feed() || $withcomments) ) {...

I've changed it manually, that did the trick.

Well I just deactivated the plugin and this led to ALL (1200+) comments duplicating. To say I'm unimpressed is an understatement. Any ideas how I avoid having to manually go through 120 pages of comments deleting duplicates manually?

We just updated the plugin which will fix many of your issues. If you still have duplication problems, we will help you. Just email us: help at disqus

The WP plugin is very simple to install. The only issue I have with it is that now all of the previous comments I had are now not viewable.

I am also recieving an unexpected error message when i enter my disqus information to wordpress under the comments option.

L'interruzione della continuita' nello sviluppo - presumo economico - secondo il ministro Tremonti evidentemente si riferisce all'economia reale e non al money game; distinguendo il money tra circolante ed il patrimonializzato e nel patrimonializzato si inserisce quello societario espresso in azioni e non, quello game esce - entra - rientra e si sposta per via intercontinentale ma alimenta la locomotiva della economia che viaggia col money sottoscritto e conferito e si rinfocola con le nuove sottoscrizioni per rilanci ed aumenti di capitali. Pertanto, l'interruzione della continuita' va intesa riferito al game di borsa con forti oscillazioni che ricordano quelle del Nasdaq di fine anni 90 quando il settore nasceva, poi crollava e poi si irrobustiva fisiologicamente. Il gioco, cioe' si fa forte nella misura in cui l'economia reale e' presumibilmente forte e poiche' la borsa anticipava con a globalizzazione, invece, prende fiducia nei governi e poi li sanziona se insufficiente nei loro interventi

....errata corrige: ..... non alimenta economia reale

Looking forward that the new upgrade will not have anymore duplicate comments whether at admin console or post.

cool

Except the part where webmasters will spam comments, disqus is great. I am usingit for some time now, and i simply love it. Goes arround perfectly with my blog. Thumbs up for disqus

anyone having problem with duplicate comments? is it duplicate comments stop or not like wordpress that appear warning about "duplicate comments not allow"...

IE7 has bug on popup!

There is a bug in new version of wordpress disqus in IE6,7

hello!

Why does a prompt for login ?

hihi

Hello Everyone! I am using Disqus too.

The new version fixed my comment export problem -- thanks, guys! -- but I'm still having the problem of not being able to log into Disqus through my WordPress dashboard when using Firefox. (it still works just fine in IE, but I hate using IE). I get the login screen, embedded within the dashboard, but when I click on it it just cycles around to itself. I checked the error console, and this is what it says:

Error: Permission denied to get property Location.hash
Source File: http://www.clickpass.com/javascripts/ClickpassP...
Line: 105

I'm using XP with all available updates and Firefox 3.0.1. I just tried reinstalling JRE, and it had no effect.

This may be an issue with Clickpass, the service we use for OpenID.
I'll look.

Regarding ClickPass and OpenID, I've noticed that we can't login to a Disqus comments thread from an external page using Disqus comments through OpenID. It only gives you the Disqus username and password. It would be nice if we could log in using ClickPass on the thread itself....

We're still figuring the user experience of this out. It'll be in.

I'm not able to get the comment box to the bottom. My comment box will only stay at the top, just like this one. :(

I am actually experiencing the same problem. I am not able to get the comment box at the bottom even though I selected comment box to be at the bottom. Any ideas as to what the problem is?

This has been fixed. Try now. :)
