In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] Automatic Syncing no longer availableHmmm it’s possible that another plugin is interfering with the set up process. You could try disabling other plugins and attempting to re-install again to see if that works.
Otherwise, I’d recommend checking out our instructions for manually setting up comment syncing here: https://help.disqus.com/import-export-and-syncing/syncing-with-wordpress

In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] Automatic Syncing no longer availableI have just deleted Disqus plugin, reinstalled/activated it, gone to the wordpress installation page on Disqus, pasted the sync token, clicked “install” and got the following message:
What’s the link of the page where you clicked the “Install [sitename] on your site”. It should be https://[shortname].disqus.com/admin/install/platforms/wordpress/

In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] Automatic Syncing no longer availableAfter logging into Disqus, I went to https://disqus.com/api/applications/ to see what my Site Shortname, API Secret Key, and API Public Key are. The API Access Token was a little trickier to find. It turned out to be on the link to https://disqus.com/api/applications/MYAPPLICATIONNUMBER/ at the top of the applications page (it starts with disqus_ and is followed by the number of the application).
I highly recommend following the Automatic Installation flow built into the plugin, vs. manually going into the Disqus API to set up/configure the application yourself.
If I do that, does that mean I would have to re-import the comments to Disqus?
Nope, all the comments are already backed up on Disqus so you won’t have to re-import anything.

In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] Automatic Syncing no longer availablethis walkthrough does not show what I see. Instead of “Install” and “Automatic Installation”, I see “Reinstall”
When you reach the 2:58 mark in the video https://youtu.be/a4JBJXyuaFk?t=2m58s, the set up is the same. Follow the steps starting from there, and you should be good.
You can also try restarting the entire process by deleting the plugin and installing it again on your WordPress site.
Also, can you share the link to your website as well as the Disqus shortname?

In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] Automatic Syncing no longer availableWhen I tried hitting the “reinstall” button, I was informed that I already have this set up with Disqus….
Where are you seeing this message? You should be able to go through the Reinstall flow to set up the API application. The button should say “Reinstall [sitename]” This sends you back to the Disqus admin page for your site. Click the blue “Install [sitename] on your site” and that should be it. I’d recommend checking out our installation video for a visual walkthrough of this: https://youtu.be/a4JBJXyuaFk?t=2m37s
Sigh. (When was the editing button removed)?
Click the lock icon to make changes to the fields on the Site Configuration tab.

In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] Automatic Syncing no longer availableTo clarify, Automatic Installation sets up the required API application that’s necessary for setting up automatic syncing. We recommend this path vs. manually setting up/configuring the API application yourself since it’s easier and less prone to error.
I do not see anywhere on the Disqus site a definition of “Limited API access”….
We cap API access to 1,000 requests/hr for everyone. If you exceed that # of comments, unlimited api access would solve that and is available in our Pro subscription. More info here https://help.disqus.com/terms-and-policies/disqus-pricing-and-plans

In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] How to Track Disqus Activity in Google AnalyticsOut of the box, the plugin does not support GA tracking. I’d recommend switching to using the universal embed code and editing the
disqus_config
function with the callback per the instructions in the blog post.Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] Slows down my siteHi there, thanks for the review. Just to clarify, for about 95% of all sites on Disqus, they are eligible for our non-commercial free plan which makes ads optional. More information here https://disqus.com/pricing/ We also notify site owners in advance before any ads appear on their site so they have ample time to select a plan option that works for them. Anyhow, I appreciate your feedback and will let the team know.

In reply to: [Disqus Comment System] This plugin is a trap!! Este plugin é uma cilada!!Hi there, sorry about the poor experience. We email all Disqus admins ahead of time before ads appear on the site. For 95% of sites on our network (smaller sites), we offer a “Non Commercial Free” option that allows ads to be disabled (for free), and for larger sites we offer multiple plans to fit their needs https://disqus.com/pricing/

In reply to: 403 error when moving wordpress to its own subdirectoryThanks for pointing that out, Dave. Everything is all fixed now. When in doubt, trust the wordpress codex over a random blog post that shows up in your google search results.
