I enabled DISQUS DEBUG but it only displays:
Disqus Debug thread_id:

This is displayed after entering a new comment and refreshing on any page.

The following displayed in the js console once but I cannot reproduce this after refreshing, adding comments, etc:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://qq.disqus.com/133720758484040884/691227687/. Origin https://mediacdn.disqus.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Here are the results of traceroute disqus.com

I am using the default security group for ec2 which should allow all outbound requests. This is the content of iptables:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Is there something else I can do to check? Thanks.

I reverted from twenty-eleven child theme to default twenty eleven theme with same results. I then disabled all plugins except for disqus with the same results. The nginx error log did not show any errors. The php error log did not show any errors. I confirmed that ?cf_action=sync_comments is being reloaded when viewing various pages.

The nginx config file contains the following:

//global section
    gzip  on;
    gzip_comp_level 4;
    gzip_disable  "msie6";
    gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript text/x-js;
    gzip_buffers 16 8k;

//wordpress site
        location ~* wp-admin {
          try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

            auth_basic_user_file  /webapps/.htpasswdlist;
        }

        #    Keep images and CSS around in browser cache for as long as possible,

              add_header Pragma public;
              add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
          }

        #    Common deny or internal locations, to help prevent access to areas of
        #    the site that should not be public
          location ~* wp-admin/includes { deny all; }
          location ~* wp-includes/theme-compat/ { deny all; }
          location ~* wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/.*\.php { deny all; }

        #    Prevent any potentially-executable files in the uploads directory from
        #    being executed by forcing their MIME type to text/plain
          location ~* ^/wp-content/uploads/.*.(html|htm|shtml|php)$ {
              types { }
              default_type text/plain;
          }

Any other ideas? Can I turn on tracing somewhere to help figure out the problem?

There is no reference to dsq_sync_forum in the cron view page after editing a new comment, and refreshing the page as well.

Since the comment is not actually synced to the mysql db this makes sense. The cron job is never submitted in the first place. The question remains why. I noted 2 problems in the js console, one having to do with the “<” token, which you say is probably unrelated, the other having to do with MIME. No php errors are generated at all.

I refreshed various pages multiple times and always have this loaded:
Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/html: “https://www.website.com/title123/?cf_action=sync_comments&post_id=2861&#8221;.

So it looks like it’s attempted to sync the comment without success. Any other ideas what could be causing this? Thanks.
