Howdy, the plugin mostly works great, thanks. One issue is that I intentionally have WP articles that are old and never posted to Discourse. When any edit is made to those old WP articles, like fixing a typo, a new post is made to Discourse as if that WP article was brand new. That notifies our user…

Hey Sam, The plugin gives you various options for deciding when content in Wordpress is posted to Discourse which also cover the publication of old posts. Firstly, check out the “Publishing” settings in WP Discourse which will set the default publication options. Then also check out the WP Discours…

Hi, chiming in because I’m running into the same behavior as @samtuke and I can’t find a way around it. If an editor corrects something, like a typo, in an old Wordpress article that wasn’t published on Discourse before, it gets published automatically as a new topic. I’d like to prevent this, and …

Hey @ajolo2ky , could you share the current publish settings you have? Ideally, if you could share the “meta” file from the log viewer.

Sure, These are the Publish settings: [image] This is what I see in the logs, after an editor corrected something in a 2023 (old – I don’t want it to be posted on Discourse) post: [2025-03-12 14:33:09] publish.INFO: create_post.post_success {"wp_title":"title","wp_author_id":"1","wp_post_id":7}…

Thanks for sharing that. The reason existing articles are being published when they’re edited is probably because you have “Auto Publish” enabled, which means the “Publish post to Discourse” checkbox will be auto-checked in the editor. Are you using the “classic” Wordpress editor: [Screenshot 20…

Yes, that’s the reason, but the behavior I’d expect was to publish new articles, not edited ones. We are using Gutenberg. I know I can disable the default behavior, and then manually selecting new posts to be published on Discourse, but I was hoping for a better resolution :slight_smile:

All I know the logic where new articles will be published to Discourse already published to Discourse should be updated when edited old articles should not publish to Discourse when edited sounds a bit confusing. Without no better understanding about coding than one hello worls test using Virtua…

@ajolo2ky I understand why you might expect it to work that way, indeed this is something that has niggled at me for some time. The reason it hasn’t worked that way in the past is due to the complexities of supporting auto-publish across both Gutenberg and Classic editors. Many folks still use the C…

Hi Angus, thank you very much. Following up to see if you had any updates on this. Thanks!

Hey @ajolo2ky , thanks for your patience. I’ve been waiting on a few other (unrelated) pieces for the next version of the Wordpress plugin. I’ll let you know when the next version of the plugin is released and ask you to test the new behaviour in this respect. Thanks!
