When building a Hugo site you may well get the message “I’m receiving the message “We were unable to load Disqus.” ”
It took me a while to trouble shoot on mine.
Basically Hugo them developers have a habit of setting the baseurl in the config.toml as “/”
Your site will seem to work – but Disqus javascript needs the full url
So if you get the message from Disqus on your Hugo site saying it can load – set your baseurl to a the full domain e.g. https://example.com and clear your browser cache and try again.
The clue to the solution is at the very end of the Disqus help page https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472007-i-m-receiving-the-message-%22we-were-unable-to-load-disqus-%22
