This will allow you to disable the Facebook and Twitter social sharing buttons at both the comment and thread level. When on the Pro plan, you may disable social sharing here. Please note that even with Social Sharing icons disabled, a share option will still appear at the comment level, but will only contain a direct link to the comment, with the previous Facebook and Twitter comment share options removed.

Voting needs may vary from site to site. When on the Pro plan, you can now set the voting functionality that will be best for your site. This includes:

Please note that the ability to hide downvote details (such as count and voting users) is still available to sites on all plans.

For sites with a Business subscription, a variety of fonts will be available for use. The desired font may be selected from the Typeface section of the General Settings page.
​
Business Publishers may also request for new fonts to be added to the Disqus system. To be assessed for addition, the font must meet the following requirements:

This will allow you to customize the text that appears in your postbox where your users type their comment. Currently, this text will read "Start the discussion" for a thread with 0 comments, and "Join the discussion" for an active thread. With this feature, you can use any text you'd like with a 45 character limit. This change will be applied to all threads on your site.

This feature allows you to customize how many comments are shown in the embed when Disqus first loads on the page. This can be used to have Disqus load a smaller window when it first appears on the page.
​
By default, 50 comments will load initially on desktop, and 20 comments will load initially on mobile. This feature can be used to show any number of comments below 50 on initial embed load.
​
Please note that even with this customization enabled, clicking "Load More Comments" will load an additional 50 comments on desktop, and an additional 20 comments on mobile.

The following settings and tweaks can be applied to all sites on Disqus.
​
Although it's not currently possible to apply custom CSS to the Disqus iFrame, the appearance can still be tweaked in a few different ways.

A light or dark color scheme is automatically selected based on your site's stylesheets.

The color scheme can be overridden in two ways: 

In the Disqus admin

In your site's stylesheets directly

1. Locate <div id="disqus_thread"> 

2. Insert a <p>  tag into disqus_thread. This requires editing HTML in the web inspector.
3. Inspect the <p> tag > expand the Computed Style dropdown > observe the 'color' parameter. This is the color that is being inherited.

4. Expand the dropdown to the left of the 'color' parameter to expose which specific stylesheet rule is setting this color. Change the color being passed via this rule based on the "How is the color scheme determined?" section above.
​

Disqus inherits your site's link colors, and will use this color for all links, the Load More Comments button, and the upvote/downvote buttons when clicked. In order for this to work you'll need to make sure the relevant CSS rules are inheritable by Disqus.

To update the color used by Disqus for these elements, you may insert the following code in your CSS sheet, and then update the color line accordingly:
​
​#disqus_thread a {

color: blue;

}
​

Disqus is set to fill 100% of the width of its parent HTML element and has no margin or padding set on its <div>. This means Disqus often looks best when its parent container gives it some margin or padding. Additionally, the width of the disqus_thread ID can be adjusted using CSS.
