Disqus WP Plug-In Opens Comments on 'Comment Closed' Posts

Started by DarkH · 3 months ago

I just installed the Disqus WordPress plug-in on my blog. I am using WordPress 2.5 self-hosted.

I chose the option to have Disqus "Replace all entries with no comments (including future posts)".

It opened up comments on posts that I have closed for commenting.

This needs to be fixed ASAP before I will reactivate Disqus on my site.

    Hi Scott,

    I've uploaded a patched version of the 1.04 plugin here: http://media.disqus.com/disqus-wordpress-1.04+c... which will keep closed comments when using the option "Replace all entries with no comments".

    Thanks Jason! That worked great. I appreciate your fast response.

    Now how much longer until WordPress comment importing and Gravatar support? ;-)

    1) We're working on importing, but we're not final on a release date yet.
    2) Gravatar support is a-go! Check it out.

    Yes, but does it work for those commenters who don't register with Disqus?

    For example, WordPress 2.5 will match the Gravatar as long as the person enters their e-mail that matches a Gravatar registration. I have a feeling that many of the commenters on my site won't register with Disqus... at least not initially. Will their Gravatar show up by merely putting in their e-mail address when leaving a comment?

    Also, has the option to allow blog owners the ability to require an e-mail address for someone to leave a comment been implemented yet? I don't see the option, but I believe you said it was something you were working on.

    Scott,

    Yes, it works for all commenters, whether or not they are registered
    with Disqus.

    Also, it already is a requirement to leave an email address to leave a
    comment.

    I hope that helps!

    Hi Scott,

    You can close comments from your Disqus dashboard: http://disqus.com/dashboard

    We are working on updating the plugin to reflect WordPress settings.

    That doesn't work if the post has no comments on it yet. They don't show up on the dashboard. I don't want to have to go through and find all my "comments closed" posts and put a comment on them just to be able to turn comments off through Disqus.
