Use WP Discourse to publish posts from Wordpress to Discourse

Essentially, this is more of a JetEngine issue. You could reach out to them and ask why items in your standard post sidebar don’t show up in their sidebar.

I have been testing with embedding directly from the forum into each individual post but I can’t seem to get the embeds to work correctly too. Curious to hear your thoughts
