Sharing tags between WordPress posts and their Discourse topics

Contribute Feature

סיכום מבוסס בינה מלאכותית

The discussion revolves around a feature request for the WordPress Discourse plugin, suggesting that tags from WordPress posts should be automatically transferred to their corresponding Discourse topics. icaria36 proposes that existing tags be used, with new ones created if necessary, noting Discourse’s limit of five tags. philh emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistency in tag usage, while jtbayly and Nick_Chomey agree that this functionality would be intuitive and beneficial. The community suggests that @simon could provide insight on implementing tag support.

A feature request for the WordPress Discourse plugin:

Unless I have missed something (and I searched), currently there is no relation between the tags used in a WordPress post and the tags of the Discourse topic created automatically.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see the tags of a WP post replicated in its related Discourse topic? For this, existing tags would be used when available, otherwise new tags would be created on the fly.

Discourse has a limit of 5 tags (?) that WordPress does not have. That’s fine. If the WP post has more than 5 topics, Discourse would only take five. Any five would be ok.

(Bonus)
If more precision is needed to choose the 5 tags, these criteria could be applied:

  • Existing tags win over new tags.
  • If there are still more than 5 candidates, then alphabetical sorting would be applied.

For me, adding tags on the fly is overkill. Maintaining consistency in tag usage between WP and Discourse would help keep things organized.

Perhaps @simon can weigh in on adding tag support to WP Discourse. WP Discourse 1.4.0 Release - #13 by philh

I also think carrying the tags over to Discourse makes a lot of sense.

Agreed. I’d love to see the plugin be able to convert WP tags into Discourse Tags. It seems like a very intuitive thing.
