I think I've set up Disqus as instructed for universal code.
Trouble is that it always says that a post has 0 comments.
Take this post:
http://tx0rx0.com/retropie-and-the-raspberry-pi/
which discus says has 11 comments, and then compare to the front page
http://tx0rx0.com
I thought all you needed was a link to the page with the disqus comments with #disqus_thread appended to it. Like so:
<a href="tx0rx0.com/retropie-and-the-raspberry-pi#disqus_thread>Comments</a>
and the javascript with correct shortname would do the rest. Where did I go wrong?
Also, why is there a period there?
The protocol and presence of trailing slashes matter when it comes to comment count lookups. Try this:
<a href="http://tx0rx0.com/retropie-and-the-raspberry-pi/#disqus_thread">Comments</a>
You might also consider using a 'disqus_identifier' and 'disqus_url' with the commenting embed, which you can then use in the comment count link like this:
<a href="http://tx0rx0.com/retropie-and-the-raspberry-pi/#disqus_thread" data-disqus-identifier="some_identifier_for_thread">Comments</a>
This will normalize the data between what is passed to us, and what you're expecting when you render the comment count links.
