Well I've tried everything listed on this page and then some more, but it just does not work. I just cannot get the correct number of comments to display on the home page. It always shows 0. My blog is www.nela.in. Please help...

OMG, Beautiful find. I had this problem with the Thesis theme, which is an otherwise AWESOME theme.

Here's what I changed, specifically, to get comment counts to work on my single post pages:

1) Go to your PLUGIN folder in Wordpress; then to the DISQUS plugin folder.
2) Find the disqus.php file -- open it in your text editor of choice (I recommend Notepad++)
3) Look for this section of code around line 272:

function dsq_comment_count() { ...
} else if ( (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments || is_feed()) ) {

Change the second line to:
} else if ( (is_page() || $withcomments || is_feed()) ) {

4) Upload the disqus.php file back on to your server!

If your WP isn't showing comment numbers on the single post pages from Disqus -- this should work!

Basically -- just delete out the (is_single() part of it entirely.

Dunno' what this does but it seems to work!

Thanks! That fixed the problem for me.

My theme already had the appropriate calls in it to satisfy the advice at http://disqus.com/faq/#faq-17

Well, I fixed it myself.

In disqus.php, I changed dsqs_wp_footer to not check if it was a single post.
That made the comment-count show up on single posts as well.

I have in my footer.php as the FAQ says, but on the pages showing a single post, I still don't get any indication of how many comments there are. It works on the index-page.

My website is julianmoeller.dk.

Thanks!

I put after and before the <body> in each of:

index.php
page.php
single.php

works now!
