Failure on Sphinx v6.2.1

[lucaspcamargo]

This extension does not seem to work on a more recent version of Sphinx. There is an issue when creating the disqus_shortname config value. And it happens regardless of whether I set the value in conf.py or not.

It errors out with an ExtensionError ("Config value 'disqus_shortname' already present").

Here is what my venv looks like:

Works fine in that version of Sphinx as well as Sphinx 7 for me. Can you paste your conf.py?

Reopen if this is still an issue.

Just ran into this issue when I tried to switch my website to ablog.
