Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Disqus Recent Comments Widget

Disqus caps the number of requests you can make to their api at 1000 an hour for free accounts. If you have caching enabled (the checkbox in the admin section is unchecked), the plugin will only retrieve new comments once a minute. If you're hitting the request limit, make sure you haven't disabled caching. Developers, the time in between requests

I blocked a user, but their comments are still appearing Make sure you entered the exact author name. The plugin does its best to account for spaces, capitalization, etc but it can't read your mind. If all else fails, copy/paste their name into the filtered users field.
