-### Conditional loading of Disqus comments
-
-Users have noticed that enabling Disqus comments when running the Hugo web server on `localhost` (i.e. via `hugo server`) causes the creation of unwanted discussions on the associated Disqus account.
-
-You can create the following `layouts/partials/disqus.html`:
-
-{{< code file=layouts/partials/disqus.html >}}
-<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
-<script type="text/javascript">
-
-(function() {
-    // Don't ever inject Disqus on localhost--it creates unwanted
-    // discussions from 'localhost:1313' on your Disqus account...
-    if (window.location.hostname == "localhost")
-        return;
-
-    var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
-    var disqus_shortname = '{{ .Site.Config.Services.Disqus.Shortname }}';
-    dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
-    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
-})();

-The `if` statement skips the initialization of the Disqus comment injection when you are running on `localhost`.
-
-You can then render your custom Disqus partial template as follows:
-
-```go-html-template
-{{ partial "disqus.html" . }}
-```
