Any news on this feature.... I agree this might not be in your high priority updates, but it certainly matters much, as I get into this question whenever I recommend disqus to fellow bloggers.

If others can utilise your API's to go for a workaround, then why not tweak it better by Disqus themselves to get it as a supported feature.

Eagerly looking forward for response. I switched over already, but have set it only for new posts, fearing to hide the ones which are already there in my older ones.

I've installed disqus on my wp blog - and from the admin area, the instructions available here do not match the options I see in my admin. I'm using wp 2.7 and I see no advanced options at all. when i click on comments (in admin) all i get is the screen that asks for my forum name -- what i realized was I downloaded the incorrect version of the plugin. If you are having a similar issue, make sure you are using the latest version of the disqus plugin for wp which as of today is Version: 2.03-3166

once i got all this cleared up, everything seems to be fabulous - thank you!

I am looking for this feature as well. I've been using disqus on my product site for a while now and LOVE IT! Now I would like to add it to my accompanying WP blog, but as many have said, I don't want to lose my current comments. -- is there an update, or is it available and I've just overlooked it?

Appreciate all the hard work that put into this service, it's awesome!

Also looking for an update. We recently switched over to Disqus but would like to import existing comments from WP.

Thanks

I love Disqus - the Facebook Connect feature will be great. I am ready to switch over once Disqus provides a way for me to import my existing posts directly from a CSV file

I created a small Ruby web application via the Sinatra framework to import our comments into Disqus using only RSS feeds. I blogged about it here:

You will need Ruby installed on your local machine in addition to the gems mentioned in the post for this to work, but it did work for a couple of blogs that we imported over.

From what I can see so far, this whole import/export procedure is application independent, so you'll need someone to write a convertor from software XYZ to Disqus and the other way around. The methods provided by the API seem to be powerful enough to be used for that (using for example get_thread_by_identifier and create_post).

Since there have no comments here in 4 months, I'm hoping this has been resolved? If so, can somebody point me to the most current thread so I can figure out how to import my old comments? Thanks

Hiya, is this nearly done, 'cause I'm just about to replace my comment system with disqus, but I don't want to lose my tasty comments.

I've got to say, I've been seeing this a lot lately on the sites I frequent, and have seen the Drupal module often, so I thought I'd give it a quick shot, but without a way to import current comments into Disqus, this is completely useless.

It might be a great recommendation for clients with new sites going up, but personally I hit "uninstall" until something a little more thought out is in place for importing comments.

Weeks.

I did say June but I was wrong. I don't mind being wrong but I don't like to give bad ETAs to people.

It's not awaiting development. It's just part of something bigger now. Hang on tight.

It won't hurt for me to go ahead and comment-vote for a ballpark estimate. june didn't so much pan out...

Re: How do I import comments?

Mike Moore — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:01:21 -0000

He _did_ say this would be available in June. I agree a ballpark answer would be nice. Weeks or months?
