The Disqus Recent Comments Widget plugin will create a configurable widget that will allow you to display comments in any widgetized area of your theme like sidebars and footers.
You can customize the comment length and date format, filter users and choose from three different markup templates, among other things. The plugin has full support for custom markup defined with register_sidebars() and should integrate smoothly with most themes in the wp.org repository.
We try to be very proactive and responsive with support. So, if you have any issues, please post in the support forums and we’ll do our best to resolve your issue promptly.

Disqus Recent Comments Widget

Disqus has dropped support for their recent comments widget.  This plugin creates a configurable widget that will display your latest Disqus comments.

With this plugin you can easily replace the standard WordPress commenting form with one of the popular commenting system’s widget, such as <a href="https://disqus.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Disqus</a> and <a href="https://www.hypercomments.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">HyperComments</a> or with the VKontakte comments widget.
<h4>Working with plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li>After installation you should go to the plugin settings page in the Comments section and paste the comments widget into a single form field and then click Save Changes.</li>
<li>To get the widget code you will need to register at the appropriate commenting system’s website (or create a simple application for VKontakte).</li>
<li>You can add to the widget code any custom HTML markup.</li>
<li>Any custom text or HTML/JavaScript code will be displayed instead of the standard WordPress comments.</li>
<li>Just leave the field empty to hide the comments on all pages.</li>
</ul>
