Hey @Miasanrot thanks for all this detail, it’s much appreciated!

The first thing to investigate here is the `403` comment sync error in the logs, which seems related to your issue of not seeing comments. A 403 error means that [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) is not able to access Discourse, probably due to an authorisation failure.

1. On the “Connection” tab in the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) admin panel do you see a message that says “You are connected to Discourse!”?

2. As you’re using the “Proxy Real IP - 1.1” Wordpress plugin I’m curious about the networking environment of your Wordpress and Discourse. What role is that plugin playing?
