Hi, one major issue I’m having with the WP-Discourse plugin is that comment replies are unclear. When there is a comment reply in Discourse, the WordPress side does not show what it’s a reply to.

Hello, I did a search and even though it’s said in this thread this has been discussed elsewhere, I can’t find it. (I also looked at WP Discourse template customization and WP Discourse Plugin Tips and Tricks .) I just launched Discourse comments on my Wordpress site, and I’m having the same issue …

Thanks for bringing this up. I think that improving the way that comments are displayed should be the next thing we focus on for the plugin.

That would be awesome, @simon . You already have a super-solid integration with linking the comments between the sites.
