@simon I just took a look at the PR.
Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like you’re just displaying a comment count on the Discourse comment template, not actually creating comments in the Wordpress system that can be utilised by the rest of the system.
The reason I was asking about native Wordpress comments being created from Discourse posts is because other parts of Wordpress display the count and use it for other things such as the concept of ‘Popular topics’ for example to display in a widget.
Lots of themes also show comment count underneath Post titles and excerpts which wouldn’t be affected by this PR if I’m not mistaken. Please let me know if I’ve missed something.
Is anyone aware of a reason why the approach to create native Wordpress comments from Discourse data wasn’t pursued?
Thanks
