Disqus has become the go to commenting system for many website large and small. And that’s not surprising, it’s awesome! It isn’t obvious how, but you can enable Disqus comments on any page or post within OptimizePress, including pages created with the live editor. Here’s how to do it:
1. Download and install the Disqus plugin.
2. Register an account and set it up however you like.
3. Create your page with the OptimizePress page builder.
4. Insert a ‘WordPress Comments’ element in the place you’d like your Disqus comments to appear.
5. Save and close the page.
6. Navigate to ‘pages’ within your WordPress dashboard and find the page you just created.
Click ‘edit’ on the page.
Look in the upper right hand corner of your screen and click on the “Screen Options” tab. Make sure “discussion” is checked.
Now scroll down the page until you find the “discussion” options box. Check the box “Allow Comments”. Save the page.
The page you created with the Live Editor will now display Disqus comments.
Excellent! Just one quick question. Is there a way to remove the Disqus Policy message before the comments?
Not that I know of. We’re actually switching to WP-Disquz plugin because it uses the native comments feature in WordPress (which means you control the data; no ads, no bans, etc.) I saw it in action on a friend’s site and it’s rad. 🙂
