 * Hi,
 * I’m using Disqus on our company blog, which works great. I have a small issue(
   error) in the browser console caused by Disqus:
 * `Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <`
 * This is an example URL:
    [http://www.ravellosystems.com/blog/continuous-integration-with-jenkins/](http://www.ravellosystems.com/blog/continuous-integration-with-jenkins/)
 * When I disable Disqus, the error is gone.
    How can I fix this? Will this be fixed
   in the next update?
 * * Note: I’m using WP Super Cache on the blog, but I don’t think this has anything
   to do with the JS error.
 * Thanks,
    Yaniv

 * I’m having the same problem. Did you figure anything out?

 * I’m not seeing this error at the moment, did you find a way to fix it?

 * Oh, I did! I believe it was from wpautop which happens even when using the ‘text’
   tab of the WYSIWYG editor. I was using ACF and used a text area field instead
   of the WYSIWYG to avoid the issue. In other words, it seems that wrapping the
   embed code in a `<p>` causes the error.

 * Also – that’s using the raw embed code, not the plugin.

 * Was the raw embed code placed inside the post editor? It would make sense then
   because those editors usually escape certain characters and break the syntax 
   of the script.

 * Essentially, yes – I was using a WYSIWYG custom field through Advanced Custom
   Fields, but I’d imagine it acts the same way. `wpautop` isn’t run on the text
   area field type, so I think that’s what fixed it.
