I’m having trouble setting this up. Seems to just be giving me this without any explanation.

The rest of my frontend setup is fairly stock. Having `discourseEmbedUrl` as a static URL instead of something dynamic didn’t help.

`discourseUrl` is the address of you forum, eg `meta.discourse.org`

`discourseEmbedUrl` is the address of the page where you are including the embed, eg `https://blog.discourse.org/2026/04/discourse-is-not-going-closed-source/`.

I was intending on writing posts directly in Discourse and having my own backend push the posts to my site. I refreshed my site after updating the code and it seems to have made a new post in the blog category with my 404 page on my production site, which makes sense because the blog isn’t live yet. Is there a way to get it to use existing topics, or will I need to stick with these weird ghost topics? Probably not the end of the world, as it makes them unlisted by default, but it would be good if I didn’t have to manually merge. (`discourseEmbedUrl` is set to https://…/blog/entry\_id [rendered by server])
