Disqus Comment Settings For Jekyll

To implement a Disqus comment system on your Jekyll site, you’ll need to configure it with your own Disqus account. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your Disqus comments up and running across different themes:

1. Locate the Disqus Comment Include File:

   • Navigate to the _includes/disqus_comment.html file within your Jekyll theme directory.

2. Modify the Disqus Shortname:

   • On line 15 of the disqus_comment.html file, locate the existing Disqus shortname.
   • Replace the shortname with your own Disqus account shortname.
   • Original:

     s.src = "//shortname.disqus.com/embed.js";
     

   • Updated:

     s.src = "//your-disqus-shortname.disqus.com/embed.js";
     

   • For example, if your Disqus shortname is example, the code would become:

     s.src = "//example.disqus.com/embed.js";
     

3. Apply Changes Across Different Themes:

   • Use your personalized Disqus shortname in other themes you may utilize, ensuring a consistent commenting system throughout your website portfolio.

4. Testing and Troubleshooting:

   • After making these changes, ensure you build your Jekyll site and test the commenting feature on your pages.
