Hugo ships with support for [Disqus](https://disqus.com/), a third-party service that provides comment and community capabilities to websites via JavaScript.
|
||
|
||
Your theme may already support Disqus, but if not, it is easy to add to your templates via [Hugo's built-in Disqus partial][disquspartial].
|
||
|
||
## Add Disqus
|
||
|
||
Hugo comes with all the code you need to load Disqus into your templates. Before adding Disqus to your site, you'll need to [set up an account][disqussetup].
|
||
|
||
### Configure Disqus
|
||
|
||
Disqus comments require you set a single value in your [site's configuration file][configuration]. The following show the configuration variable in a `config.toml` and `config.yml`, respectively:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
disqusShortname = "yourdiscussshortname"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
disqusShortname: "yourdiscussshortname"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For many websites, this is enough configuration. However, you also have the option to set the following in the [front matter][] of a single content file:
|
||
|
||
* `disqus_identifier`
|
||
* `disqus_title`
|
||
* `disqus_url`
|
||
|
||
### Render Hugo's Built-in Disqus Partial Template
|
||
|
||
See [Partial Templates][partials] to learn how to add the Disqus partial to your Hugo website's templates.
|
||
|
||
## Comments Alternatives
|
||
|
||
There are a few alternatives to commenting on static sites for those who do not want to use Disqus:

||
* [txtpen](https://txtpen.com)
