I have the box ‘Display existing WordPress comments beneath Discourse comments’ unchecked. However Wordpress comments still appear on my page.

I’ve tried checking the box incase it was a logic fail, but whatever do the comments always show.

Could it possibly be a theme issue?

Thanks! It looks like it’s a bug. I’ll fix it later today.

Ahh ok, you’re seeing the same behaviour? Was just about to dig into my theme.

I’ve also noticed that the `no_replies_html` content never gets added in. Could you check that this isn’t just an issue with my site?

It gets added on my test site. I’m not sure what the problem could be if you’re not seeing it.

@simon I realised that the problem was that I was viewing an old article on my site that hadn’t been copied over to Discourse. This is why the `no_replies_html` content wasn’t showing.

Out of interest, does the Wordpress plugin track master branch on wp-discourse github repo? Or is it being updated somewhere else?

Reason I ask is because I couldn’t see the latest fix in the repo…

It tracks the beta branch.
