Meh provides a built-in CLI tool to import comments from Disqus, making it easy to migrate your existing comment system.
Before you can import comments into Meh, you need to export them from Disqus:
- Log in to your Disqus admin panel
- Go to your site's admin section
- Navigate to the "Community" tab
- Click on "Export" in the sidebar
- Request a data export
- Wait for the export to be prepared (you'll receive an email)
- Download the XML file
Once you have your Disqus export XML file, you can import it using the meh
command line tool:
./meh disqus path/to/your/disqus-export.xml
For multi-site setups, specify the site name:
./meh --site blog2 disqus path/to/your/disqus-export.xml
- Meh currently does not support threaed comments, so all comments will be imported flat.
- Disqus does not export E-Mail addresses, so imported comments will not have an associated E-Mail address.
- It worked for me™ but your mileage may vary. You can always import into a new site to test it out before importing into your main site.
