  Hello,

  I’m having trouble adding the DISQUS comment system to my wordpress blog. Does anyone know where I can do it?

  I found these directions on the DISQUS website where I already have an account. It says to find the “Add New” under Plugins in the left panel of your admin (if you’re using WordPress 2.7 or above). However, I can’t find any Plugins section in the left panel.

  How do you figure out which version of WordPress you’re using?

  Thanks in advance for anyone that can offer any help! :)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The blog linked to your username is a free blog being free hosted by wordpress.com and it has a built-in commenting system. There is no FTP access to free hosted wordpress.com blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into free hosted wordpress.com blogs.

  If you are asking about another site and it’s a wordpress.ORG install then we cannot help you with it at all. WordPress.COM blogs and wordpress.org installs operate on different code. The correct support forum to get support for that blog is here > http://wordpress.ORG/support

  For more clarity please read the sticky post at the head of this forum or the summary provided by Staff in the support documentation.

  Is there a way to install disqus on a wordpress.COM site?

  Now I am a sad panda, just discovered DISQUS yesterday and thought it would be great to add its functionality to my blog (hey, there might be more than me reading it one day) :) Oh well…

  I think this is a mistake for wordpress.com, and you should consider opening up the platform to allow plugins.

  I now have to self-host my blog to add Disqus, which means leaving your platform.

  WordPress.com comment box etc. have now everything that DISQUS had. You can Like posts (not unlike), vote for posts, post comments using facebook, twitter etc. What is the lack in it? Just a plugin? Everyone is not so technically good.
