Add Disqus and Disqus Comments

To add the Disqus commenting platform to your website:

First head to disqus.com and follow the steps to register your site. Make note of the Site Shortname you choose. You'll use this to connect Disqus to your website. Now, here's how to get comments using Disqus:

1. In your Content panel, select Add New Pages and choose Blog.

While the ability to enable Disqus comments can only be toggled on in a Blog content block, it is still possible to add Disqus comments to any page by adding an HTML block.

To add Disqus to any page you have:

1. Go to Disqus.com and select Get Started.

2. Locate the Universal Code install instructions.

3. Highlight and copy the code inside the text box provided.

Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript" rel="nofollow">comments powered by Disqus.</a>

8. In the code, replace PAGE_URL with your website URL (example.spacecrafted.com).

9. In the code, replace PAGE_IDENTIFIER with your page's identifier variable (don't change this value if you can't find one).

10. In the code, replace yourshortnamehere with your Disqus shortname if it was not already inputted.

11. Select the blue Save button in the HTML block.

12. Select the green Publish button.

Done! Users can now add comments to your page.
