I got busy and forgot to reply. I cannot be sure since this is a WordPress site for the organization I work for. My colleagues who post there have not made much use of it, so I cannot be sure how long ago when I remember it worked correctly- maybe months.

No hosting change or cloudflare use. There has likely been new plugins. No change was made to discourse settings . I activated more logging when I noticed the problem.

Is there any other way to test what the discourse response is- as all the logs indicate is”

```plaintext
[2025-10-14 00:13:18] comment.ERROR: sync_comments.get_discourse_category {"message":"The categories key was not found in the response from Discourse."}

```

Sorry I cannot be specific, my focus is not on the tech stack, and my server admin is pretty weak on WordPress.
