Disquss comments not loading via https

Yesterday we changed couple of URLs using the Disqus URL Mapper but now the comments somehow don't load via https but they do via http..

The code looks like this:

    var disqus_shortname = 'ourname';

    (function() {
        var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
        dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
        (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
    })();

The URLs we've changed:

http://domain.be/blog/2017/03/27/blog-name-old/, http://domain.be/blog/2017/03/27/blog-name/
https://domain.be/blog/2017/03/27/blog-name-old/, https://domain.be/blog/2017/03/27/blog-name/

I have read this, but this didn't work Why are disqus comments not loading over https?

Solution

  • This behaviour makes sense: a http URL is a different resource than a https URL and you can't expect comments for one of them to automatically show up in the other.

    Disqus' URL mapper tool should fix the problem.
