I’ve recently noticed that a ‘Read full post’ button has appeared in Discourse topics linked to Wordpress articles. Is it possible to have this as an option that can be turned off? 2 reasons for this request: I use Visual Composer in Wordpress to build some posts so they don’t always appear corr…

Hey there @cosdesign , have you tried the solution suggested above? Namely Make sure “Use Full Post Content” is not checked in the WP Discourse publishing settings. Make sure “embed truncate” is not checked in Discourse site settings. This will mean that: WP Discourse will just send excerpts to …

You need to disable the ‘embed truncate’ setting on Discourse. It’s found under admin/site_settings/category/posting.
