pipDisqus – Lightweight Disqus Comments Plugin

A lightweight solution for adding Disqus to your WordPress blog.

This plugin will remove any of the default WordPress comments features from your site, and replace this with Disqus.

Please note: Disqus comments will not be automatically imported into your WordPress dashboard. Instead, you can continue to moderate your comments via your Disqus moderation page. This plugin will add a quick link to your Disqus moderation page in the WordPress Admin Bar.

Reasons to use this plugin:

  • Simplify your WordPress dashboard by removing the “Comments” admin menu.
  • Easy setup: simply add the Disqus shortname in the settings and you’re all set.
  • Comments are NOT imported to WordPress – save server resources and database size.
  • Improved spam protection to keep junk out your site’s database.
  • It has a silly name.

Installation

  1. Install the plugin.
  2. Add your Disqus Shortname to Settings > pipDisqus.
