Had some issues with 2.0, and 2.0.1 just fixed a major issue with a small white space in the code throwing feedburner for a loopty. Great work on that.

Also, just imported all previous comments before Disqus and worked well. Just had to claim them, but it was very easy.

I noticed someone had asked about trackbacks - I had been asking around on that issue, so it is great to see that in the pipeline for development.

Overall, I've been very impressed. The new comment field on blogs is easier to login in to, and the overall feel is very strong. Great work, great support, and I look forward to greater things to come. You've got my vote.

Kewl update, but there are still some validation problems. First of all there seem to be double tags.. And as stated in a comment before, the '<'+ '/script>' stuff doesn't work, it has to be changed into '<\/script>'.

Thanks alot!

The new plugin seems great ! Thanks for the useful information and link.

Got it installed - it took 1hr 19min to import over 10,400+ comments.

Seeing a bit of weirdness. A few dates on imported comments appear off, though I haven't verified and it's not a big deal either way.

What is strange is that the options pages applies changes such as comment style/width, but it won't change the options button to a link and it won't move the comment box below the comments.

These bits are in the plugin markup itself so you are able to edit the HTML yourself to anything you'd like.

Just (carefully) edit comments.php in your plugin directory. Happy to help further.

Thanks for the offer, but wish it would just move the box for me. ;) I'll poke around in the code later. Though any changes I make could be lost with the next plugin update - yes?

This has been fixed. Try now. :)

Hi Dave,

Yes, if you modify the actual PHP it will change with an update. I am
happy to assist you personally with customization.

Thanks for the offer. How can I reach you? :)

Wait, so why can't I just update DISQUS from the plugin page like I can with other plugins? I have to download it and FTP it myself? Is it because it's not hosted at Wordpress.org or something?

It's not hosted at WordPress.org because the plugin is very tightly tied in with your account here at Disqus.com.

I agree that we can make distribution easier and we'll be working on that as well.

Ok, cool!

Please do. I certainly don't like the hoop jumping w/ being used to streamlined updates from other folks... :) At least give us a link on the blog to which you direct us to the direct download.

We'll have it on WordPress.org soon.

thank you so very much. manual upgradation sucks!

Brilliant; manually having to update the plugin really sucks when people like I are used to one-click-upgrading.

thanks - i'll give this one a shot. I did an "import" yesterday morning with the 2.0 (and had all the ugly issues you'll remember.) Do I need to re-do the import under 2.0.1 or will it auto-sync at some point?

(note - things look basically OK under 2.0.1 at this point, but there are a few comments that were made in WP while it was uninstalled yesterday - will they show up in Disqus if I don't do another import?)

You should import again.

Everything went smooth on 2.01. All my old WP comments were imported. Good work, guys.

Question: Will I be able to import my trackbacks, too? Doesn't look like they were imported along with my old WP comments.

We haven't implemented trackback importing yet, but several people have asked for it, so it's near the top of the list.

Any chance you guys can add this plugin to WordPress' plugins section so we can automatically upgrade from within WordPress?

It'll be added soon. :)

Also, please do not put a banner on all my Admin pages when you have an upgrade. If every plugin did that, I'd be blogging below the fold.

Hey, this is great! but comment counts aren't working, and links to comments (generated by a recent comments plugin) are no longer right. any fixes?

Hi Jeff, details about the comment count are here: http://disqus.com/docs/wordpress/#comment-count

Awesome! that fixed my comment count issue, however links to comments generated by the "Get Recent Comments" plugin still point to an apparently non-existent anchor. It looks like this plugin is generating links to comments by appending "#comment-$comment->comment_ID" to the post link where $comment is a value from "$wpdb->comments" - Is there a new method for determining the comment anchor?

It would be great if you could add a star rating system to be optionally added next to comments on certain posts. This could then be used to either have readers rate the content of a post or alternatively rate the product, band, actor, actresss, movie etc. beining talked about.

It would also be good if each blog we own could display a different commenting profile with distinct name and image. Taking this further it would be nice of our comments could be separated into professional comments (shared with everyone) and personal comments (rants etc.!) that are just shared with our friends.

Thanks for all the direct interaction, Daniel - appreciate it!

Is it possible to edit *my own* comments on my own site? Either I'm not seeing it or it doesn't exist. Also, is there a way through options or CSS/HTML to highlight the blog author(s)?

One more thing... Disqus imported/synced over 10k comments, but WordPress indicates I have over 15k. Where's the disconnect? Hmmm.

I just reinstalled disqus again, and everything seems to be working ok, except that the number of comments for each post don't show on main page. If i run the mouse over the 'comments' link it shows as '/postname/#disqus_thread' and that takes me to the comments. but the link doesn't show number of comments. Before installing disqus it showed the comments for each post from wordpress. Is there any script that i have to add manually for it to show.

Hi onlypencil,

There is some information about this on the WordPress doc page: http://disqus.com/docs/wordpress/#comment-count

Got it installed, works fine

I can't find the file. I'm directed from my wordpress.org site to this blog posting. No way to upgrade automatically. What do I need to do to get the new version?

The link is in the first sentence of the blog post. We will be making upgrading easier this week.

Ugh. I upgraded and tried the import again, and not only did it still not get all of my comments (missing about 200), it spewed duplicates of all the ones it did get all into my site's comments table! I had to manually go through 30 pages of comments and delete the duplicates.

Forget this BS. How do I delete all my comments and configuration off the system? I don't see anywhere to "delete website from Disqus" because I am done with this crap.

Are you using the latest plugin, 2.0.1? It sounds like you are using
an older release.

I tried 2.0 and it only imported half my comments, then I tried importing with 2.0.1 and that's when it created all the dupes.
