9 Hugo ships with support for [Disqus](https://disqus.com/), a third-party service that provides comment and community capabilities to websites via JavaScript.
10
11 Your theme may already support Disqus, but if not, it is easy to add to your templates via [Hugo's built-in Disqus partial][disquspartial].
12
13 ## Add Disqus
14
15 Hugo comes with all the code you need to load Disqus into your templates. Before adding Disqus to your site, you'll need to [set up an account][disqussetup].
16
17 ### Configure Disqus
18
19 Disqus comments require you set a single value in your [site's configuration file][configuration] like so:
20
21 {{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
22 [services.disqus]
23 shortname = 'your-disqus-shortname'
24 {{</ code-toggle >}}
25
26 For many websites, this is enough configuration. However, you also have the option to set the following in the [front matter] of a single content file:
27
28 - `disqus_identifier`
29 - `disqus_title`
30 - `disqus_url`
31
32 ### Render Hugo's built-in Disqus partial template
33
34 Disqus has its own [internal template](/templates/embedded/#disqus) available, to render it add the following code where you want comments to appear:
35
36 ```go-html-template
37 {{ partial "disqus.html" . }}
38 ```
