Better Disqus Comments keeps the free plugin focused on showing Disqus fast. Everything else comes as addons: 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.

Each addon is sold on its own at dclwp.com. The Premium Bundle includes all of them — and every future addon — under one license.
Addons need Better Disqus Comments 13.0 or later. Each one declares the free plugin as a required plugin, so WordPress won't activate an addon until Better Disqus Comments is active.
Disqus → Addons lists every addon, with the Premium Bundle at the top. Click Refresh Addons to reload the list — it's cached for about a day, so do this right after a purchase or when a new addon comes out.
Each card shows the addon's state:
Badge
Meaning
Licensed via Premium Bundle
Installed and licensed through your Premium Bundle.
Active and licensed
Installed, with its own license active.
Premium Bundle activation pending
Installed, and your Premium Bundle will license it on the next admin page load.
Installed, license not active
Installed, but no license is active on this site.
Included in your Premium Bundle
Not installed yet, but your Premium Bundle covers it — just download it.

Activate license / Manage license
Opens the license window for an installed addon.
Download
Opens your Freemius account to download an addon your Premium Bundle covers.
Paste your key into License Key and click Activate.
The badge changes to Active and 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 Premium Bundle? Activate it once from the bundle banner instead — see Premium Bundle.
The addon 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 first to change it.
What a license covers
A license gives you automatic updates and support for the addon 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 addon removes its feature; the free plugin keeps working. Addon settings are kept, so reactivating it brings everything back, as it was.
The addon won't activate. Install and activate Better Disqus Comments first.
The addon is active but does nothing. Update Better Disqus Comments to 13.0 or later — addons 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 addon folder over FTP to wp-content/plugins/.
The license won't activate. Check the key in your Freemius account and that it has a site left. Then click Refresh Addons and try again.
Still stuck? Contact us with the addon name and any error message — paid customers get priority support.
