The comments button is only applied to new articles. How to display previous articles within the forum?

Hey Eduardo 🙂

I’m not entirely sure if you mean you want to publish old wordpress posts to discourse, or if you want old discourse replies to appear on wordpress posts connected with a discourse topic?

If you want to publish an old wordpress post to discourse, the way to handle that is by going into post editor and clicking “Publish to Discourse” in the discourse sidebar (assuming you’re using the gutenberg editor).
