Hey there, is there any way to not automatically create a topic for every blog post we publish on our website yet still keep the discussion section? I feel it makes more sense to generate a topic automatically as long as there’s a comment on a certain blog post. Currently the logic is that the topi…

That’s unusual. I confirmed locally it was working great after my latest round of fixes. Is there anything in your /logs output you could share here? I’m curious what the error is.

@simon That’s exactly what we want! Thanks for your reply. The problem is that our site is not built with WordPress. But we can take a look at the Discourse API. Speaking of feature requests, where can I raise this request for Discourse?

Looking forward to this new feature. Sound like a much-needed one. So how can I keep myself informed when it’s available?
