Yes, I am using the plugin, and it is set to automate, but in order for a post to “automatically” generate a comments thread in Discourse, the wp post needs to be updated. ei: opened-to-edit and saved.
Anyway, no, I feel that it would be far easier to query the data I need out of the wp mysql database, and populate it into the Discourse db with sql. I just don’t know the Discourse db at all, and hope that I can find someone who does.
I guess I could write a bash script for the wp cli to open / save all the posts. lol. Maybe I’ll do that.
