This feature is not working for me: [Link to Discourse topics in Wordpress Without Displaying Comments](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-link-to-discourse-topics-without-displaying-comments/88486)

If I select that option, it does hide the comments, but I don’t see the link to comments (or the “join the discussion” button).

By the way, it seems like those two check boxes should be a dropdown, or at least radio buttons in a group, since you can only select one or the other.

Edited to add:  
By the way, I’m ultimately wanting to display the topic-map as being worked on over here: [Embedding Topic topic-map or Topic Summary on Other Site - #13 by jtbayly](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-topic-topic-map-or-topic-summary-on-other-site/88445/14)  
I’ve got that working in a test environment, but the topic map _also_ only shows if I choose to display comments. Might be unrelated, though.
