I’m having trouble that I assume is related to these errors in the WP-Discourse log:

`[2025-08-14 20:28:35] comment.ERROR: sync_comments.response_error {"message":"","discourse_topic_id":"2464","wp_post_id":20434,"http_code":""} `  
`[2025-08-14 20:36:04] comment.ERROR: sync_comments.response_error {"message":"","discourse_topic_id":"727","wp_post_id":12097,"http_code":""} `

But there is no message about why it failed to sync, so I’m not sure what to do to debug this.

I just left a comment myself and I see this in the log:

`[2025-08-15 18:44:39] comment.INFO: sync_comments.success {"post_id":22491}`

That post now shows correctly that there is one comment up at the top of the page in the meta-data.

However, at the bottom of the page it still says “Start the discussion at …” instead of “Join the discussion” even though there is a comment now.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I do have “Only Import Moderator-Liked” selected, but I believe that should only affect which comments are displayed, not the wording or the comment count, correct?
