Hey there, is there any way to not automatically create a topic for every blog post we publish on our website yet still keep the discussion section? I feel it makes more sense to generate a topic automatically as long as there’s a comment on a certain blog post. Currently the logic is that the topic should exist before people can comment. Thanks in advance!

That’s unusual. I confirmed locally it was working great after my latest round of fixes. Is there anything in your /logs output you could share here? I’m curious what the error is.

Looking forward to this new feature. Sound like a much-needed one. So how can I keep myself informed when it’s available?

Okay I’ve got a PR ready for this feature: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/9391

Wow that’s really impressive! So fast.

Yes apologies I meant to update this topic to announce it’s now live. Can you try it out and provide feedback? We’d like to make this the default in the future but we want to make sure it’s been tested properly.

No worries. [image] eviltrout: we want to make sure it’s been tested properly. Totally. I have enabled this option and the new blog post has been unlisted automatically. [image] But the old ones are still there and I need to manually delete them. [image] Is that the right logic according to your design?

Yes, I should have been more clear that this only applies to new imports going forward.

@eviltrout Thanks for clarification. Everything is working properly so far. :grinning:
