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.

Is is the same thing that you want to do? [image] Automatically publish posts from WordPress to Discourse Is it possible to auto-post from WordPress post to discussion on certain conditions? Say for example; auto post to discourse should trigger only when the WP-post has at least 3 comments? I…

Thanks for your reply. Yes I did want to trigger post on discourse under certain conditions only. However, our website isn’t built with WordPress. It’s built with Hugo. Is there anything we can do to achieve that?

@Canapin So we want the blog post to receive a comment first BEFORE it is listed as a Discourse topic. The post does exist on our site in the first place, doesn’t it?

[image] simon: I think that what you want is have all topics that are pulled to Discourse from your website be marked as unlisted . When a topic receives a comment, it would automatically be marked as listed . Unlisted topics do not appear in the topic list, so this would prevent the topic list …

And how can I set the Unlisted by api，I can’t find the relative apis in my comment embedding.js. Thank you.
