Hugo ships with support for Disqus, 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.

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.

Configure Disqus

Disqus comments require you set a single value in your site's configuration file. 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
