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
Disqus has its own [internal template](https://gohugo.io/templates/internal/#disqus) available, to render it add the following code where you want comments to appear:
```
{{ template "_internal/disqus.html" . }}
```
## Comments Alternatives
There are a few alternatives to commenting on static sites for those who do not want to use Disqus:
* [Staticman](https://staticman.net/)
* [Talkyard](https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments) (Open source, & serverless hosting)
* [IntenseDebate](https://intensedebate.com/)
* [Graph Comment][]
* [Muut](https://muut.com/)
* [isso](https://posativ.org/isso/) (Self-hosted, Python)
* [Tutorial on Implementing Isso with Hugo][issotutorial]
* [Utterances](https://utteranc.es/) (Open source, GitHub comments widget built on GitHub issues)
* [Remark](https://github.com/umputun/remark) (Open source, Golang, Easy to run docker)
* [Commento](https://commento.io/) (Open Source, available as a service, local install, or docker image)
* [JustComments](https://just-comments.com) (Open Source, available as a service, can be self-hosted)
