dirkprimbs is trying to configure WP Discourse as a commenting system for custom post types created by the Podlove plugin. The issue is that the custom post type “episode” is not showing up in the WP Discourse settings, preventing the metabox from appearing on episode posts.
simon suggests selecting the “episode” post type from the “Post Types to Publish” setting, but dirkprimbs mentions that this option is not available.
simon then points out that the post type is actually called “podcast”, which can be selected in the WP Discourse settings. This resolves the issue, and dirkprimbs expresses gratitude for the solution.
Hi
I’m trying to configure Discourse as commenting system for my wordpress based podcast pages (e.g. this one) For my podcast posts I use a plugin called podlove which creates a custom post type called “episode” for podcast episodes. Now, these are precisely the posts I like to link to discourse comments but it looks like I cannot select this type from wp discourse and the metabox does not show in my episodes (but shows just fine in regular posts). Any tipps how to fix this?

By default, the Discourse metabox is only displayed for posts. To get it to display for the ‘episode’ post type, you need to select ‘episode’ from the ‘Post Types to Publish’ setting on the plugin’s Publishing Options tab.
I know that which is why I came here. The post type “episode” does not show in the plug-in’s settings either 
Is this the plugin you are using?

If so, the post type is called ‘podcast.’ It shows up in the Post Types to Publish setting on the WP Discourse Publishing options tab. When that is selected, selecting New Episode on WordPress displays the Discourse metabox on the post edit page.
I feel a bit stupid now…
Thank you so much for taking the time!
