Hey!  
I have the problem that discourse is not showing the comments under my articles anymore. When my article is published, it shows up in the discourse forum of our blog, but I have to link it manually in the wordpress article afterwards. Then the comments show up. But that step wasn’t needed before.

I already was writing about it here: [422 Unprocessable Content response when using ActivityPub with WP Discourse - #5 by Miasanrot](https://meta.discourse.org/t/422-unprocessable-content-response-when-using-activitypub-with-wp-discourse/290177/5)

Unfortunately the solution over there wasn’t my solution and it seems to be very individual. So I opened up a new thread. Those are the three things I was asked to publish:

1. Logs from [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse), including the meta file.
2. Logs from Discourse, in particular the error log.
3. A list of plugins you’re using in Discourse.

**This one is from today:**
