How to add the DiscussIt JavaScript Widget

Note if you do not have an account you'll need to create one before continuing.

Create account here or follow the setup guide here


The DiscussIt JavaScript widget allows you to use our services with other pages in your site that are not part of WordPress. So Plain HTML for example.

The JS widget works with your Desktop Live Moderator, just as it does with our WordPress plugin.


To get started you need go to Your DiscussIt Account and Login.

After logging-in you should automatically land you on the 'sites' sub menu.

From here click on the Widgets button.

This will then show a window containing the embed code needed to display the comments system.

You will need to copy this code to your clip board (ctrl + c for Windows & cmd + c for Mac)

Now you will need to open the document you wish to display the widget on, in your code editor of choice. E.g. Notepad, TextEdit, Wordpad etc.

Once you have opened your editor, you need to paste the code (ctrl + v for Windows & cmd + v for Mac) in the appropriate place within the document, this is normally at the bottom before the footer section.

Save and upload your newly changed document then run the page to see your new JavaScript widget in action.
