Embedding: Discussion not showing up for new posts

[Jane_Jojo]

I have incorporated Discourse into my blog via

Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript

Discourse has the ability to embed the comments from a topic in a remote site using a Javascript API that creates an IFRAME. For an example of this in action, check out Coding Horror’s blog. The blog is run via Ghost but the comments are embedded from his Discourse forum. One important thing to note with this setup is that users have to navigate to your forum to post replies. This is intentional, as we feel that the posting interface on a Discourse forum is currently much richer than what we …

This is the code I used

<div id='discourse-comments'></div>
<script type="text/rocketscript">
DiscourseEmbed = { discourseUrl: 'https://comments.alittlebitofspice.com/',
topicId: };
if(!DiscourseEmbed.topicId)
DiscourseEmbed.discourseEmbedUrl = 'https://www.alittlebitofspice.com/cauliflower-rice-stir-fry-with-eggs-paleo-keto-gluten-free-recipe';
(function() {
var d = document.createElement('script'); d.type = 'text/javascript'; d.async = true;
d.src = DiscourseEmbed.discourseUrl + 'javascripts/embed.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(d);
})();
</script>

Everything works except when topid is empty (for a new post).
How do I instruct discourse to create a new topic?

if(!DiscourseEmbed.topicId)
DiscourseEmbed.discourseEmbedUrl = 'https://www.alittlebitofspice.com/cauliflower-rice-stir-fry-with-eggs-paleo-keto-gluten-free-recipe';

Does not seem to work
Here’s my blog post

Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry with Eggs (Paleo, Keto, Gluten Free)

and my embedding setup

You may be able to create a Topic on Your discourse using the WP-Discourse Plugin.
are You using it?

Since you are using WordPress, I’d also recommend you look into the wp-discourse plugin. It should make your life a lot easier.

A few notes to your usage of the embedding feature:

• You only need to use topicId when you want to point to an existing topic that wasn’t created by embedding.
• Otherwise it should be fine to always use the discourseEmbedUrl with the URL of the blog post.

Thanks. WP-Discourse had too many issues.
So I can change the code to

DiscourseEmbed = { discourseUrl: 'http://discourse.example.com/',
                     discourseEmbedUrl: 'http://example.com/blog/entry-123.html' };

and it should work, right?

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

Yeah, that should work.
