So install this plugin on joomla 2.5.9 and the comment counter will not update after someone posts a comment. It remains at 0 Comments not matter what. The comment is there, but the counter will not update.

I disabled joomla cache and cleared it, the plugin is configured correctly with my disqus short name, menu and category selections.

My disqus account is configured correct.

Everything points to this plugin.

Any ideas or is there something better then this plugin to get disqus on my joomla site?

Using joomla 2.5.9 and Disqus 3.2 plugin. Other modules installed are just Joomla works slideshow Pro, and SWmenu. Thats it.

Did you check this:
forum.joomlaworks.net/disqus-comments-for-joomla-%28package%29/the-comments-counter-on-my-site-is-broken-problem-and-solution-explained/msg32521/#msg32521

Yes I have not changed anything mentioned in that link.

I have not changed the articles title / alias.

Any suggestions ?
