Disqus won't load unless with "key” in Front Matter

[C-Harlin]

I found that disqus won't load without "key" stated in front matter.

---
key: anything
---

that is where I got stuck for sever hours. Once "key" was stated, then disqus loaded.

Could someone tell me the reason and where the "key" refer to? Thx!

I'm observing the same and not mentioned anywhere in the documentation about this.

@C-Harlin key is apparently the unique identifier. You can use something unique like a timestamp for that.

E.g. https://github.com/kitian616/jekyll-TeXt-theme/blob/master/docs/_posts/2015-01-03-article-with-lots-images.md Note how the key has been used there.

Still, it shouldn't affect the comments being showed.
