We have Discourse linked to a WordPress site and automatically publish articles to Discourse as hidden through the WordPress plugin. So to make it work, we have a checkbox set in the WordPress plugin for the value “Publish as Unlisted Topics”. This is all functional. The problem is that when I cr…

[image] Petr Mišák: The problem is that when I create a new article in WordPress and look in the “Publish as Unlisted” settings, the checkbox is unchecked. And yet it works as if it is checked :). So far we are still using the classic WP editor. There’s something that should get fixed here. …

It’s exactly as you describe. Thanks for the insight into the background and the reasons why it has historically been handled this way. The current setup works fine, it’s just confusing there, made me wonder whether it’s a bug or a feature. But from my perspective, it’s nothing super major.

Sorry to hear you’re still having issues. Are either of these settings enabled? “Publish as Unlisted Topics” in the “Publishing” section of the WP Discourse settings. “Embed Unlisted” in your Discourse Site Settings. If either of these settings are enabled the topics posted by WP Discourse will b…

Aaaannnd that was point 2. Why was that ON, no idea… :man_facepalming: Thanks for the patience and explanations! But what is the use case of this feature? I mean how people can use the thread if it’s hidden?

Glad you got it sorted. [image] Cafeine: But what is the use case of this feature? I mean how people can use the thread if it’s hidden? The idea is that not all embedded topics will lead to discussion. Depending on the frequency of new posts in Wordpress, this may mean that you end up with a…
