Uploading & Importing Disqus Comments
After downloading the XML export of your comments, navigate to the “Import from Disqus” page in the JamComments admin.
About Imported Comments
A few notes about the comments you’ll be importing:
- All imported comments will be marked as approved by default.
- If you attempt to import the same comment twice (determined by matching content, author, and site), it will be skipped.
- All nesting relationships will be preserved between comments.
