    Hey guys,

    I just wanted to throw out here that I’d be willing to pay a bit extra to get this prioritized. We’re kind of dead in the water at the moment and can’t use GD (but need to) along with Disqus on our website.

    Is that a possibility?

    Thanks,
    Jonah

    Hi Jonah,

    we don’t do customisation but if you want i can put you intouch with a good dev for GD?

    Hi Stiofan,

    That would be cool. So does that mean you guys are not going to look into getting Disqus working with GD?

    Thanks,
    Jonah

    Hi Jonah,

    we will, but not being a bug preventing the majority of members to continue with their websites, it is at the bottom of our queue.

    That’s why Stiofan suggested a developer to help you in case you need to prioritize this.

    Thx

    Would it be possible to put me in touch with the same developer that helped the original poster? I’m having the exact same issue with Disqus.

    For people wanting to try Disqus, please try this hack of their latest plugin, if it works ok i will try and contact them to add some code so it can be done without hacks.

    in their plugin in file disqus.php

    line 1250 replace this:

    add_filter('comments_template', 'dsq_comments_template');

    with this:

    add_filter('comments_template', 'dsq_comments_template',100);

    Line 225 add this:

    if(isset($post->post_type) && $post->post_type && in_array($post->post_type,geodir_get_posttypes())){return false;}

    So line 225 surounding should look like this:

    
    
    function dsq_can_replace() {
        global $id, $post;
    	if(isset($post->post_type) && $post->post_type && in_array($post->post_type,geodir_get_posttypes())){return false;}
        if (get_option('disqus_active') === '0'){ return false; }

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    UPDATE:

    I have submitted a pull request on github to the Disqus dev team and hopefully they will be in the next release of Disqus plugin.

    Thanks,

    Hello, I need this fixed too asap. I am in the middle of an active site dev.

    I’m developing an all around community news/resource site and GeoDirectory conflicts and kills Disqus from operating site-wide.

    The theme I am using already selectively displays comments on posts/pages as I need them.

    This may be a much larger issue if GeoDirectory and Disqus both write to the WordPress comments in the database. (I need Disqus to write the comments so I can have a proper comment count on posts, sitewide)

    This is important enough of an issue that I will stop using GeoDirectory and find an alternative directory plugin, just to stick with Disqus.

    Hi u can download the plugin with the filter added here: https://github.com/NomadDevs/disqus-wordpress/

    Then u add this bit of code to your child theme functions.php file and all should be well

    
    
    add_filter('dsq_can_replace_filter','dsq_can_replace_begin_hook_change',10);
    
    function dsq_can_replace_begin_hook_change(){
    global $post;
    if(isset($post->post_type) && $post->post_type && in_array($post->post_type,geodir_get_posttypes())){return true;}
    }

    Thanks,

    Thank you Stiofan for the quick reply.

    The hack you posted earlier worked. But, I want to use your GitHub fork.

    I followed your directions immediately above and it does not work still unless I turn off GeoDirectory.

    I added the code snippet in my child theme functions.php you posted above and I also tried the code snippet from the GitHub description. What variable do I need to pass to the filter to make Disqus appear on my posts?
