Comments with Disqus

Turn comments on

1. Get your shortname

   Create a site in Disqus. The shortname is the name in your Disqus site address, like acme-blog.

2. Enter it

   Open Website settings → General, find Blog design, and type the shortname in Disqus comments.

3. Save

   Save the card. Open a post on your hosted blog to see the thread.

Leave the field empty for no comments. It takes letters, numbers and dashes only.

How it works

• The thread shows on the post page, under the article, on the hosted blog.
• Each thread is tied to the post, so it stays when you change the post’s title.
• The thread uses the post’s canonical address. If your own site is the home of the post, the thread follows that address.
• The page loads Disqus’s script from your-shortname.disqus.com. Disqus’s own terms and privacy rules apply to the thread.

What it does not do

• Comments show on the hosted blog only. The embed does not draw them. Add Disqus to your own page if you use the embed.
• CMSKite does not store or moderate comments. You moderate them in Disqus.
