For nearly five years, my blog ran with @techAPJ ’s wp-discourse-embed. Here’s an example of a post Soya Chunks Masala Dry Recipe | A Little Bit of Spice and corresponding forum post: Soya Chunks Masala Dry - blog - comments I was able to migrate and set up @angus’s WP Discourse: [image] But now, the old forum posts don’t appear as comments on blog posts. The above blog post is an example. I am guessing there needs to be some mapping. How can I integrate this? Here’s how my log looks like [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 11.40.22] And the latest one: [2024-04-03 01:42:27] webhook_topic.ERROR: update_topic_content.webhook_verification_error [“message”,“Discourse Webhook Request Error: signatures did not match.”] Raw Logs here.

Hello, About: [image] Jane Jojo: [2024-04-03 01:42:27] webhook_topic.ERROR: update_topic_content.webhook_verification_error [“message”,“Discourse Webhook Request Error: signatures did not match.”] This error means the Webhook Secret Key option value in WP-Discourse doesn’t match the password defined in your Discourse webhook. Can you check it? [image] Jane Jojo: But now, the old forum posts don’t appear as comments on blog posts. The above blog post is an example. @simon will correct me if I’m wrong, but yes, a WP post needs to be synced to a Discourse topic. For existing topics, you should have the option to link to an existing Discourse topic: [image]. Once synced, the comments should be retrieved. I’m not sure if there is a better way; hopefully, some can provide better insights.

[image] Arkshine: @simon will correct me if I’m wrong, but yes, a WP post needs to be synced to a Discourse topic. You are correct about both issues. @Jane_Jojo, try linking an existing Discourse topic to its corresponding WordPress post using the method that @Arkshine demonstrated. Note that the user interface is slightly different depending on whether you’re using the Classic WordPress editor or the new Block editor. If linking Discourse topic to a WordPress post works, the next thing to figure out will be how to link all of your existing topics and posts. How many old posts do you have? If it’s too many posts to link to Discourse manually, there might be a way to automate the process.

Thank you. So I did this. [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 14.18.34] and I get a 200 when I do a ping. So that’s clear. Then I do this: [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 14.21.50] [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 14.23.54] But the post does not reflect it [image] Soya Chunks Masala Dry Learn how to make Soya Chunks Masala Dry, a healthy stir-fry with soya chunks cooked in spices and chilies. A flavorful side dish . Est. reading time: 2 minutes Am I missing anything else? The logs don’t seem to have any update. Update: When I do ping from discourse webhook [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 14.39.35] I get this on the log side [2024-04-03 21:38:14] webhook_topic.ERROR: update_topic_content.response_body_error

Is your WordPress use a cache plugin? You might need to enable this setting: [image] Also, if not already, enabling debugging on comments could help: [image]

[image] Jane Jojo: When I do ping from discourse webhook The error message you are seeing will be generated if you “ping” the webhook. On the WordPress end, the code is expecting there to be a post object in the webhook that’s sent from Discourse. The post will not be in the payload if you just click the “ping” button. Try leaving a comment on a Discourse topic that’s linked to Discourse and see if that still gives you an error. For the issue of getting Discourse comments to appear on your WordPress site: make sure that comments are enabled on WordPress for the posts you are publishing to Discourse make sure that the “Enable Discourse Comments” option is enabled: [image] If you have not previously had comments enabled on your WordPress site, you may not want to enable them now for posts that are not yet connected to Discourse. To avoid having the WordPress comment form displayed for those posts, you can enable comments site-wide, then select the “Remove WordPress Comments Template” setting from the WP Discourse Commenting Options page: [image] Let us know if you are still running into problems.

Enabled both. No luck. [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 16.17.52] [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 16.18.07] Page refreshed and logs arent showing anything [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 16.18.41]

When I do a view source of the page, I see a bunch of discourse references in the html. So its trying something… [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 16.26.25]

This is how my comments section settings have been for a very long time. [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 16.31.44]

Can you check to make sure that comments are enabled for a post that you have linked to Discourse? Sometimes the “Discussion” option isn’t shown on the edit page. You might need to select it from the “Screen Options” menu to see it: [image]

Yes, this was enabled :frowning: [CleanShot 2024-04-03 at 17.06.21]

I managed to resolve the issue. Comments were disabled at the theme level. Enabling it fixed it.

Thank you for the detailed responses.
