At Last — Disqus Supports Pingbacks!

Share/Bookmark Print This Post

Tonight, I got a SMS message from Disqus on Twitter.  The tweet was pretty succinct:

Disqus for WordPress 2.03 released.: This release includes trackback/pingback and pagination support as we.. http://tinyurl.com/5z98kh

That was enough for me!  Disqus’ lack of PingBack support in WordPress was really something that I missed, as you can probably tell from this article’s title.  So, without wasting another minute, I followed the link to the blog entry, and downloaded the new version of the plugin, 2.03.

And, I’m happy to report that it does indeed support trackback and pingback support!  I’ve included a screenshot below.

  • will this work for word press direct blogs?
  • Unfortunately, WordPress.com blogs don't allow 3rd party plugins outside of the widgets offered on the service itself. However, Automattic (the company that created WordPress) recently acquired Intense Debate, which is a competitor to Disqus. That's good and bad news; good that WP will eventually get a Disqus-style centralized comment architecture, but bad that support for Disqus specifically on WordPress.com will probably not happen now.

    All that said, if you do decide to go with a self-hosted WordPress blog, it is unlikely that the open plugin architecture it has will change dramatically. So you can safely depend on Disqus being there and supported as WordPress grows and develops its platform.
