Hi! I have just set up the WordPress Discourse plugin.

**Question:** When a blog reader leaves a comment on our blog, is it possible for that comment to be published on our forum automatically?

**I guess there would be two scenarios:** A where the blog is published on the forum through the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin and B where it’s an old blog that’s not on our forum.

Hi Lucy,

As far as I know, there is currently no official, or unofficial publicly available solution to publish comments from Wordpress to Discourse.  
So, it would require custom work. I am aware of two occurrences of private/unavailable WordPress plugins created for this purpose in the past.

Ideally (but depending on your needs), all the older blog posts could be synced with WP-Discourse, which can also be done with a custom Wordpress script.

Do you know the names of those private WP plugins?

One was a proprietary one used by a French IT news website (I don’t remember the name of the site), and the other one was a project I participated in but which was never really finished. So, a reliable solution has yet to be created.

Still no custom plugin or solution to this? As others have mentioned, people don’t seem to want to comment when they have to click a link, go to the forum, sign up, and reply there. It makes things harder for them, especially for blog readers who just want to leave a quick comment.

Any ideas or suggestions would be really helpful!
