Hi tagDiv,
I just noticed that Disqus isn’t integrating with Author’s comment count in Author’s Page. I’ve made at least 10 comments in my blog with my Disqus Admin (for the site) but it isn’t showing that. It is still in 0 comments!
Please fix this problem ASAP.
Thanks
Hi,
We will take a look.
Thanks!
Hi,
Is like that becouse when you make a comment you need to login to disqus plugin to add a comment and you can login with your WordPress account.
What can be done here is to use the same email address on your WordPress account and on Disqous account and change like here:
http://screencast.com/t/9TheavFo
$comment_count = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = 1 AND comment_author_email = %s", $part_cur_auth_obj->user_email));
Thanks!
hi
can you please explain?
thank you.
Hi,
What is not clear? When you post a comment you need to login on Disqus? http://screencast.com/t/nfmerRCj
You can’t login on Disqus using the WordPress account!!!
So if you comment you will comment with an user that is not your author.
And a solution is to change like above to read the comments count grouped by email address which is unique for WordPress accounts. And You WordPress account use an email address and when you login to Disqus you need to use the same email address and the counter will take the comments to from WP account and Disqus to.
Hi!
I did login with the Moderator Account of Disqus for my site. I want my comments count to show in the author page!
I hope you understand this time…here: http://screencast.com/t/W8S9KbbfRQ
thanks
Hi,
Make the above change, code provided above and make sure you use the same email address on your Disqus account, i mean to have the same address on Disqus account with the Moderator account.(your WP account)
It works now! Thanks..How can I add author name in blocks?

Hello, how do we make disqus comment number reflect on the author widget block?
Hi,
You could try to search the web to find a way to add the disqus comments and add them here http://screencast.com/t/9tn1fusGPFUe
Thanks
Hello, I’ve done that already and it only reflects on the author page, not the widget. Trying to figure out how to get the comment count to show on the author widget. See my homepage here… http://myntproducts.com
Sorry, wrong website. See here… http://gadgism.com
This is a well known issue with Disqus and not theme related. I was trying to sort this out the other day, actually. In theory you could construct a javascript query using their API based on the author, but it’s a bit complex, based on my own research.
I’ve found this, but I’m not in the right frame of mind to tackle it right now:
https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/565624-tightening-your-disqus-integration
Perhaps the developer can offer a solution?
@Joe … I think the developer is busy working on the existing 140+ feature requests at the moment and this isn’t a theme related function, technically. If you come up with a solution, please share 🙂
But I’ll be very happy if somebody has a fix to share, as we’d like to enable the comments count on author page
… but I think we’ll likely just comment that out, as nobody “really” cares how many comments an author has from beginning of time for all their posts.
Lucian … what is best way to comment out the comments count on the author page… ?
Thanks 🙂
As far as I know, the developers haven’t yet released the features I have been requesting for the last 6 months. Not sure if they completed other features that were requested by others…?
They should make the new-feature/bug tracking page accessible for everyone.
Well, nobody is paying them to add new features for your $50 purchase 🙂 It’s nice to ask for things not found in the product as advertised, but they obviously have to weigh in on what takes priority along with dealing with changes to WordPress 3.9 and upcoming 4.0 major launch. If you look at the changelogs you’ll note they’ve added a *lot* of things people asked for which were not part of the theme when you and I bought the product, Mehedi.
Everybody can access the tracking page, so not sure why you can’t see that on Github?
I think they’ve done a great job in implementing things like one click layout installs vs just adding “I want the site in black” when stuff like that can be done with CSS.
Some things like “news ticker” have been on the request list a long time, among others, but they are not the most requested elements.
Asking the developer to “fix this ASAP” when it’s not an issue with the theme, related to a plug-in they don’t manage or develop, is a bit unrealistic.
Right now I’ve come to the conclusion that “commenting out” (pun there, ha ha) the comment count on the author page is best option when using Disqus as it’s not a critical necessity, most people could care less, and better things to do.
I realize you may need it “NOW” — but if it’s that dire, why not hire a developer to sort it for you? would be my thinking.
Anyway…. for those who don’t know how to search this forum, here is the link posted by Radu and crew re the various requests he’s been tracking:

Hi,
@Joe Jerde
Try this https://tagdivdemo.disqus.com/admin/universalcode/ in the td_authors.php file http://screencast.com/t/u6P93hW4
We cannot offer custom work at the moment as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
@Christopher
Thanks!
And to answer your question, probably the best way would be to remove this code http://screencast.com/t/EGDnC15e0nyk
@mehedi
As @Christopher writhed we are working hard on the development, updates, fixes and support, you can always get a freelancer if you want to add something new to the theme and don’t know how to or add it issues list on GitHub
Also keep in mind that we have to pick very carefully what we implement as we have may feature requests.
Thanks
Thanks Lucian,
saved me having to look for that, event though the file name is good pointer 😉
Commenting out the comments for author box is best choice for our Disqus use. I actually already commented those out on the modules same time I uncommented author name, so works fine.
Keep up the good work!
Chris
