Update: Disqus for WordPress 2.01 released

To get the new plugin, just go to your website’s integration page and select WordPress (or download the zip directly here. If you already have 2.0 installed, you should be prompted to update when you visit your WordPress admin panel.

Not a Disqus member yet? No time like the present — come check it out.

The 2.01 update addresses a number of issues that some people were experiencing after installing the 2.0 release. It also adds back in a number of features that were missing from the previous release, so we highly recommend that everyone update.

We are constantly adding to our WordPress documentation for details and support.

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.

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?

Hi Dave,

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

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!

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.

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.

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?)

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?
