I am setting up a discourse forum for my blog and as I understand, there is no way to sync migrate existing wordpress comments to discourse topics and as its replies.
Since that is the case, I was thinking of doing this task manually.
i.e.
- Create A discourse topic backdating it to the creation of the blog post
- Copy over each of the blog post’s comments to the topic, creating/migrating a user account in the process
I have around 2,000 comments.
Question:
- Is this a good workflow? Potential flaws?
- Can I go an embedded an old blog post and the new back-dates forum top created? Does this mean I’ll have to use the WP-discourse plugin and the WP-discourse-JavaScript plugin together? Is it even possible? Will this conflict?
- Do you have a better approach?
