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] like so:
{{< code-toggle copy="false" >}}
disqusShortname = "yourdiscussshortname"
{{</ code-toggle >}}
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:
* [Static Man](https://staticman.net/)
* [Talkyard](https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments) (Open source, & serverless hosting)
* [txtpen](https://txtpen.github.io/hn/)
* [IntenseDebate](http://intensedebate.com/)
* [Graph Comment][]
* [Muut](http://muut.com/)
* [isso](http://posativ.org/isso/) (Self-hosted, Python)
* [Tutorial on Implementing Isso with Hugo][issotutorial]
<!-- I don't think this is worth including in the documentation since it seems that Steve is no longer supporting or developing this project. rdwatters - 2017-02-29.-->
<!-- * [Kaiju](https://github.com/spf13/kaiju) -->
<!-- ## Kaiju
[Kaiju](https://github.com/spf13/kaiju) is an open-source project started by [spf13](http://spf13.com/) (Hugos author) to bring easy and fast real time discussions to the web.
Written using Go, Socket.io, and [MongoDB][], Kaiju is very fast and easy to deploy.
It is in early development but shows promise. If you have interest, please help by contributing via pull request, [opening an issue in the Kaiju GitHub repository][kaijuissue], or [Tweeting about it][tweet]. Every bit helps. -->
