Yes I am agree with you. I also like disqus plugin for comments. You have provided very good information.
There are many commenting system whom will you correct
No, it should take the comment text set in your Disqus dashboard set for 0 comments, 1 comment and multiple comments. I had it set to show nothing in the example as I didn't want any text to show.
There are a couple of updates at the start of the post, but thanks for letting me know the change!
Text can be added yes, there is also an option in the Disqus dashboard for the text too.
Thanks, helped a lot

What happens when the site you frequent, disqus comment box stopped appearing.
I have to use web developer, and show hidden elements to see it.
I cant sem to make it appear anymore, and disqus acts like it doesnt happen.
They wont even talk to me about it.
They just didnt care.
I don't have that problem at all, sorry. It works great on other sites for me.
Its a problem from the web developer using antiquated jsquery I believe, just on one site I frequent..

Do you have any idea on how to get a recent comments widget to link to the correct comment,
the comment numbers on the anchors are different
Thanks
Sorry I have never used that, so I don't. Have you tried their support ticket system?
Thanks for this great information about disqus and disqus is the best place for blog commenting.
All - I've updated this to show how to do it in WordPress 3.1 and the current version of Disqus 2.61.
Hello Joel, I would like to thank you for providing this helpful post, it worked for me. The only thing is, what code should I substitute if I want to show the text too? Right now, it only says '1' where I would like it to say '1 Comment' or '2 Comments.' Any ideas?
Hi. I think you can change this in the Disqus settings in your dashboard on the Disqus website. Login there and check your settings.
Hmm, I see where you're coming from, but I didn't change any of the default settings. Using your method, my posts only showed the number, I'm interested in showing both the number and text. I thought it had something to do with the calls you used, but I wasn't sure. Really, I'm just trying to get it to work on my Wordpress theme because originally all it said was View Comments where the indicator (on the homepage) went.
So you want the word comments after the number? This post has a potential answer in Step Two:
I have done with sorting.
Oh nice, thanks for your information!
Any updates on this as this post seems currently outdated... line 485 is not the same as it was before :)
until now this is working for me

What a terrific article
And I'd like to highlight authors comments and add a logo to comment like you do? Could you give a hand there as well?
This is simply some styling, so in your Disqus Account go to Settings > Appearance and at the bottom under Custom CSS I have added:
.dsq-moderator {
background: #E2E2E2 url(LOGO URL HERE) no-repeat top right !important;
}
Which makes the background grey and adds my logo top right.
I also had the same issue and I soted it out with the help of this article. But I have another problem that, I wan the page scroll down to comments when use click in 'View comment' or 'Number of comments' link.
How can I get this done?
You need to link the wording to #comments which is the standard WordPress anchor link for the comments section.
I disabled this by changing:
return '[span class="dsq-postid" rel="'.htmlspecialchars(dsq_identifier_for_post($post)).'"]'.$count.'[/span]';
FOR:
return $count;
AND:
return '[span class="dsq-postid" rel="'.htmlspecialchars(dsq_identifier_for_post($post)).'"]View Comments[/span]';
FOR:
return $comment_text;
- Works like a charm
ps: i changed for [], otherwise the code wouldn't show up right.
Thanks for letting me know, looks like a simple solution.
This is the perfect solution! It changes "View Comments" into the exact same counter you have on your homepage (In my case, that's "# Comments and # Reactions") You're a genius sir!
Joel, do you think you could update your blog post to include this alternative solution as well? By highlighting it in your popular blog post (it was the first thing I found when googling) you could really help a ton of people. Thanks Joel, and thanks for writing this blog post in the first place to help us all!
Great idea, I will update the post with a note now!
Good job. Was looking for a solution. Thanks!
thank 4 share
Can you explain me how can i replace the "0" in the counter? I don't get it, i readed your comments, but i don't understand it. I'm from poland and it didn't work on my blog : www.hajducek.pl. Can you explain me it from step to step?
Things have changed in the new version of Disqus I'm afraid, this doesn't work anymore, sorry!
Just noticed mine is broken... is there another way to fix it? :(
Oh, things are much much better fixed now.
I've been using this fix for a while, but with the latest version of the plugin, it shows "0 comments" all the time now instead of the actual count.
They redid some of the coding around those lines in the plugin... but I can't figure out how to fix this. ’.$comment_text.‘ replacing View Comments gives a 0 comment count every time.
I was able to check the feature to put the javascript in my footer, so the real count shows up, but it's confusing visitors when they see "0 comments" then it changes to some number.
So it now does show the comment number when the page has fully loaded? If so with the javascript loading in the footer it will always load last before it takes over the default WordPress comment wording. I do this on my own site but it loads quickly for me so I don't really notice this issue.
When the page is fully loaded, the comment number shows up, but I need to
have the javascript in the footer (because of my theme or whatever the
comment count doesn't load when it's in the header).
There is a brief delay and it's not a huge deal, but before it would show
the comment count before disqus would kick in and insert the number itself.
Have you updated the plugin recently? I don't understand why it's showing
"0 comments" when comment_text is used now. If there was a way to just
disable disqus from replacing the text that would be even better to be
honest. I already use the comments_number function and that's what gets
replaced... I would rather disqus not replace it at all. I'll look into
that I guess...

Fixing View Comments in Disqus Plugin
I’ve made no secret of the fact I love the Disqus commenting system plugin. However each time I upgrade it I have to go through the same rigmarole of changing the plugin due to one specific problem. So this will explain how I fix the View Comments problem in the Disqus plugin for WordPress.
Update #1: This is fixed to show how to do it in WordPress 3.1 and the current version of Disqus 2.61
Update #2: Please see the comment below from Rutgur for the latest fix
The Problem
On my Blog page the comment count works fine, as you can see in this picture:
The 44 text is displaying perfectly on the Blog, category and archive pages. However on the single post page by default instead of the comment count it says View Comments and is cut off, as you can see below.
So to fix this (or at least change it to the way I prefer, as some people may prefer it saying View Comments), inside the wp-content/plugins/disqus-comment-system folder you need to edit the disqus.php file. For those not comfortable doing this, make a backup or you can always re-install a new copy of the plugin if things go wrong. On line 697 you will see this section of code:
function dsq_comments_text($comment_text) { global $post; if ( dsq_can_replace() ) { return 'View Comments'; } else { return $comment_text; } }It’s the View Comments wording here that is displaying. Luckily we can easily change this to show the correct number of comments:
function dsq_comments_text($comment_text) { global $post; $number_of_comments = get_comments_number(); return $number_of_comments; }So once done, my single post page now looks correct, displaying the number of comments:
There, looks lovely again. This isn’t really a bug as it’s designed to say View Comments there, however in the default WordPress comment system this would show the number of comments here, so we are simply re-creating that functionality.
