Comment Count Disqus

  • Hey Ben!

    Again, we’re obsessed with this plugin. So thank you. One problem we’re running into: we’re using disqus on our install and we’ve disabled comments to stop bots from posting junk comments back to our DB. Even though we have comments installed with the disqus plugin we’re not seeing our comment metrics display in our Social Metrics backend panels.

    Any advice on what we could do to resolve this?

    Thanks!

    Hi Kameron,

    Do you know if your Disqus comments are being synced back to WordPress or not?

    The Social Metrics Tracker tries to get the number of comments directly from WordPress using the function get_comments_number which depends on the number of comments being stored locally in your WordPress database.

    So in order to resolve this, you’ll need to figure out how to get Disqus to automatically copy new comments in to your WordPress database. I do believe the official Disqus plugin does this as I am using it on my blog and it seems to be working.

    Perhaps you might need to re-enable native WordPress comments in order for the Disqus syncing to work? I’m not sure.
