Adding Disqus to Jekyll

Prerequisite

  1. Resister website to Disqus.
  2. Create a new Disqus site. For example, shortname.disqus.com.

Install

Between a {% if page.comments %} and a {% endif %} tag, add the Universal Embed Code in the appropriate template where you want.

{% if page.comments %}
<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script>

/**
*  RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT AND UNCOMMENT THE SECTION BELOW TO INSERT DYNAMIC VALUES FROM YOUR PLATFORM OR CMS.
*  LEARN WHY DEFINING THESE VARIABLES IS IMPORTANT: https://disqus.com/admin/universalcode/#configuration-variables */
/*
var disqus_config = function () {
this.page.url = PAGE_URL;  // Replace PAGE_URL with your page's canonical URL variable
this.page.identifier = PAGE_IDENTIFIER; // Replace PAGE_IDENTIFIER with your page's unique identifier variable
};
*/
(function() { // DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
var d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = '//{{ site.disqus.id }}.disqus.com/embed.js';
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
})();
</script>
<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript">comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript>
{% endif %}

Add Disqus Id to _config.yml

disqus:
  id: "YOUR_DISQUS_ID"

Add comments variable to the YAML frontmatter and set true. Comments can be disabled per-page by setting comments: false or by not including the comments option at all.
