How to link the existing discourse comments to wordpress posts?

It looks like it would be possible to add a feature to the plugin to ‘link to existing Discourse topic’. It would have to be supplied with either the topic_slug or or the topic URL from Discourse. That’s not going to happen right away though.

I definitely support this for v1.1. Let’s come back to it after v1.0 is published. Further discussion on this feature can go here:

Link existing forum topic to new WordPress post

After migrating from bbPress to Discourse I realised there’s one thing I miss about our old “forum for comments” integration (besides that, everything works way better). Quite frequently, big news would be shared on the forum before it turned up on the blog. The topics that really stood out could be “featured” via a blog post. Before posting, we’d have the option of bbPress creating a new topic, or simply point to an existing topic, which in this case is what we’d do. Quite handy!
