Better Disqus Comments keeps the free plugin focused on showing Disqus fast. Everything else comes as add-ons: small plugins that each do one thing and plug into the free plugin's settings page.
Your latest Disqus comments in a widget, with avatars and excerpts.
Widgets screen
Each add-on is sold on its own at dclwp.com. The Pro Bundle includes all of them — and every future add-on — under one license.
Add-ons need Better Disqus Comments 13.0 or later. Each one declares the free plugin as a required plugin, so WordPress won't activate an add-on until Better Disqus Comments is active.
Disqus → Add-ons, under More in the sidebar, lists every add-on, with the Pro Bundle at the top. Click Refresh list to reload the list — it's cached for about a day, so do this right after a purchase or when a new add-on comes out. Each add-on's name links to its page on the website.
The plugin's row under Plugins has an Add-ons link to this page too.
Each card shows the add-on's status:
Status
Meaning
Active · Pro Bundle
Installed and licensed through your Pro Bundle.
Active · licensed
Installed, with its own license active.
Installed · activating license
Installed, and your Pro Bundle will license it on an upcoming admin page load.
Installed · no license
Installed, but no license is active on this site.
In your Pro Bundle
Not installed yet, but your Pro Bundle covers it — just download it.
Premium · not installed
Not installed; available to buy.
And at most one button:
Button
Does
Activate license / Manage license
Opens the license window for an installed add-on.
Download
Opens your Freemius account to download an add-on your Pro Bundle covers.
Get add-on
Opens the add-on's checkout.
No button
Nothing to do — the add-on is licensed through your Pro Bundle, which handles the license.
Paste your key into License key and click Activate license.
The status changes to Active · licensed. If the key is rejected — a typo, an expired license, or no sites left on it — the window stays open with the reason. Fix it and try again.
Bought the Pro Bundle? Activate it once from the Pro Bundle card at the top instead — see Pro Bundle.
The add-on keeps working on this site; it just stops getting updates, and the license is free to use elsewhere. The key field is locked while a license is active — deactivate the license to change it.
What a license covers
A license gives you automatic updates and support for the add-on while it's valid, on as many sites as your plan allows. Deactivate it on a site you no longer use to free up the slot.
Deactivating an add-on removes its feature; the free plugin keeps working. Add-on settings are kept, so reactivating it brings everything back, as it was.
The add-on won't activate. Install and activate Better Disqus Comments first.
The add-on is active but does nothing. Update Better Disqus Comments to 13.0 or later — add-ons stay idle on older versions.
The upload fails. Your server's upload limit may be too low. Raise upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, or upload the add-on folder over FTP to wp-content/plugins/.
The license won't activate. Check the key in the Freemius customer portal and that it has a site left. Then click Refresh list and try again.
The page says "No add-ons to show right now". The list couldn't be loaded. Click Refresh list, or see every add-on on the website with Visit dclwp.com.
Still stuck? Contact us with the add-on name and any error message — paid customers get priority support.

Installing an add-on
