Duplicate blog posts affects old Disqus comments

Open jdblischak opened this issue 8 years ago • 0 comments

I noticed that some blog posts are duplicated, and thus Disqus comments only appear on one. As an example, navigating from the home page to the blog link in the navbar to the blog post "Testing packages with R Travis for OS-X" takes me to https://ropensci.org/blog/blog/2016/07/12/travis-osx, which has no Disqus comments. If I delete the extra blog in the URL, then that link has the Disqus comments: https://ropensci.org/blog/2016/07/12/travis-osx

This duplication only affects older blog posts. The post Postdoctoral Scholar – Sustainable Software and Reproducible Research from 2016-09-07 and earlier posts have both a blog/ and a blog/blog/ entry. The post Greetings from Your Community Manager! and later posts only have the blog/blog/ entry.

I apologize if this is a known issue or desired behavior. I looked through the other issues and couldn't find the exact same problem. Some potentially related issues are:

  • Discourse forum is opening two topics for each blog post #295
  • Blog is broken #286
  • Fix Jekyll blog #263
  • disqus problem #227

I saw that you are moving away from Disqus for new posts (#282), but it would be nice if past comments could be preserved for old posts. For what it's worth, when I search for "ropensci i travis ci blog post" I find the old blog/ URL. Please close this issue if it is too much of a hassle to support this.
