Did you experienced that Disqus plugin for Octopress is not working in the Chrome browser? By not working I mean that you can see the “Comments” heading but not the actuall field to provide any comments.
Problem is that my website is using https://
and not http://
protocol, and Chrome will prevent that any third party website is openned using http://
urls. You can notice this prevention in Chrome with small shield icon displayed at the end of the url text field.
Fix is rather simple. Locate source/_includes/disqus.html
file in your octopress folder, and modify line 17 from this:
dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/' + disqus_script;
to this:
dsq.src = 'https://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/' + disqus_script;
Voila…
