How to Install Disqus Commenting System

In Blogging world, getting comments from the readers and engaging with them is the most important and precious part. When that’s said, in order to attract readers for posting comments, we need to have a proper commenting system on our blogs/sites. In WordPress, we have a default commenting system which is very simple and good, but if we want to install a more better one then Disqus comes into hands. Disqus (pronounces as Discuss) is a very popular commenting system which has been installed on millions of blogs. It has many customization options such as, it can control the readers’ behavior while they are commenting on your posts, it can restrict readers what they can post inside comments and what they can not. And the important part of it is; it can stop spam comments.

However, Disqus will somehow stop it. So in this article and video tutorial in Urdu/Hindi, I’ll be teaching you how to install Disqus on WordPress.
