Is there any way to link two separate posts, one in WP and one in Discourse, so that the comments from the Discourse post are shown on the WP post?  
Also, I use shortcodes for images and stuff on WP, which are transferred as text to Discourse. Any solution for that?  
Last question, If I have a WP account, but I have not created a Discourse account for it, and am publishing a WP post with “Post to Discourse”, who is the author on Discourse? What is the best way for my WP authors to publish on Discourse through WP?
