Manually copying over comments from Wordpress, how do I can create user accounts?

It’s not a job for that plugin. You need a migration script to convert the WP comments into discourse ones. I started doing this for a client once but they ended up not doing it and I can’t remember the details. I think that I had figured out (maybe there is an existing script?). Creating just the users isn’t too hard. I think I saw such a script in one of my github repos recently. (But I’m on my phone now and don’t think I can manage to look on my phone).

Thanks, @pfaffman. If I can migrate existing comments from WordPress to Discourse, it will really be useful. Have you been able to lay your hands on those scripts?

I’m very busy for the next month. If you’ve got a budget, you can see Migrate to Discourse Discussion Platform from your current formum software.. If not, you can look in the import scripts in the source for some ideas or maybe look at my pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman) · GitHub.
