I was trying to do some testing in RC5.1 for WordPress and noticed I couldn’t save the API key. I tried it in 5.0.3 and I still can’t save the API key. I would advise, the same as the OP, to update this plugin.

The joke of this plugin/Disqus is they are a large enough company/service to keep the plugin active in development but the plugin looks dead. With this comes some problems. 1) since a lot of WordPress sites are going to be using this plugin they won’t upgrade from WordPress v4. 2) Because of point 1 any security fixes that are released as part of v5 leave sites vulnerable.

Thought I’d piggy back off this topic. It does work but I feel that it needs updating.

I get a load of Warning errors when I navigate to Plugins and this plugin in active. When it is disabled there are no issues. I also only see one plugin and not my whole list. The plugin seems to be working fine though.

I am on WordPress 4.8.1, php 7.1.5.

Errors:

I upgraded WordPress to 4.5.2 and found the same thing. I eventually found that the Ginger Cookie Law plugin was breaking this functionality. Either way it looks like this theme and the Ginger plugin have not been updated for a while.

I wasn’t too impressed when I was using the_excerpt. It seems so limited in terms of using the <!–more–> tag. I made a couple of changes in the theme editor which allowed me to use the <!–more–> tag to full effect. It is also worth noting that I not that great at php so all of this was down to trial and error.

In the file inc\structure\content-extensions.php, on line 162, change

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
to
<?php the_content(); ?>

If you want to change the default text, (more…) then put some text inside the brackets with single quotes, ie, ‘Text You Want To Display’.

Another change I made was to the Read More button. I didn’t like when you click on the button it takes you to the very start of the blog. I needed something that would allow me to display the full blog but go straight to where I left off. To do this edit edit the same file as above but on line 173, change

echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="'.the_title( '', '', false ).'">'.__( 'Read more', 'interface' ).'</a>';
to

echo '<a>ID . '"title="'.the_title( '', '', false ).'">'.__( 'Read more', 'interface' ).'</a>';
