Hi Everyone;
I have been studying the potential for adding third-party comments onto the blog post. I see that "Comments" can be added from the Wix app market, but what about Disqus? Disqus ostensibly runs within an iFrame, which is the container for the html embed code in Wix ("am I correct here?). So it would seem that Disqus could be used as a comment system for Wix blogs.
Am I right? To be sure, Disques needs the cannonical URL of the web page, and that may be an issue. My question would then be... is that the only issue. IOW, would Disqus work on any Wix page which could be resolved cannonically, using the Wix embed HTML technology?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
Cheers,
Tom

Hi, I've been trying to make this work but for some reason it does not, this is the only thing that appears: We were unable to load Disqus. If you are a moderator please see our troubleshooting guide. Nothing is working, please help! Thanks!
Julius - thank you! I will follow this workflow and get back with results.
Kind regards,
Tom
hi Tom,
Yes, you can use Disqus commenting system by adding embedded HTML iframe and it works on Wix Blog.
To add Discus on your Blog, you have to:
1. Register & Login to Disqus webpage
2. Choose Install on site
3. Choose I don't see my platform listed, install manually with Universal Code
4. Copy given HTML code
5. Edit the recommended configuration variables section adding:
var disqus_config = function () { this.page.url = document.referrer; this.page.identifier = document.referrer; };
*Make sure this code is not in comments enclosed by /* ... */
6. Proceed to next step and configure Disqus
7. Open Wix editor
8. Navigate to edit single Post page
9. Add embedded HTML iFrame
10. Paste Disqus code
11. Scale embedded code block to fit contents
12. Publish and test!
I hope this helps to answer you questions.
