Disqus comments fails to load on localhost?

Question

I would like to use the universal code and have ran into difficulties getting the most basic functionality done.

I would like to create a shortname for test<

Answer 1

For anyone in 2020 who faced this issue - I found that setting the shortname to my organization name in Disquss did the trick. And URL can be set to anything.

disqus_developer = 1 doesn't do anything.
