 * I thought i had read that it syncs with the WP comment system. If thats the case,
   shouldnt the native comment count function work? Right now the wordpress comments_number()
   is showing no comments on an article when I have 2 of them that I just created
   in order to test it. Suggestions? Thanks!

 * Hi MACscr,
 * Your Disqus comments will sync with WP. But it may take time to sync. If you 
   want that to appear fast, do manual Sync

    Have you enabled **Comment Importing** (un-check Disable
   Comment Importing) in Disqus settings?

 * I was able to do a manual sync just fine. I do not have importing disabled. Is
   there another step I am supposed to be taking in order for the syncing to happen
   automatically?

 * No. Syncing will happen automatically! According to your server setup it may 
   vary

 * Why are you closing it? nothing has been resolved, its not syncing as it should
   unless I do it manually.

 * Hi MACscr,
 * Please check with your hosting provider to see whether Cron is enabled?
    If that
   is ok, try using official Disqus plugin and let me know

 * I haven’t seen any instructions stating that a cron job has to be setup. Did 
   I miss something?

 * No. You don’t have to set up. It is already set up in the plugin. Just want to
   confirm with your hosting provider if they are blocking something (I had this
   issue before).
 * If that is ok, temporally deactivate this plugin and try using official Disqus
   plugin to see if that works.

 * Hi
    I deleted a cron job for my site that appeared in my cpanel as I had no idea
   what it was. Since found that comment numbers have not been correct! Did a manual
   import earlier today and numbers now appear correct. Would I expect to see the
   cron job in cpanel? Deactivating the plugin and reactivating makes no difference
   in cron jobs HELP

 * Hi,
 * Please use [**WP-Crontrol**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/) plugin
   and check if Cron job exists for Disqus
