Hey, just got my Discourse forum up yesterday. Working on the Wordpress side today.

I’ve been able to get [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) connected to my forum, but I am experiencing odd behavior when the Wordpress site shows comments on posts published to Discourse. No visible Discourse comments are displayed, but above where they should be, Wordpress displays the correct number of comments on the forum thread as “X responses.” I’m using the default “Twenty Twenty-Three” theme, for what it’s worth. I’ve removed the submission box from the comments template, but that was after discovering this issue. The “comments” block is still present - it just doesn’t show Discourse comments.

Additionally, the link to start/continue the discussion on the forum is not present.

Things I’ve tried:

- Webhook on/off (response count immediately updates with it on; ~10 minutes with off as expected)
- Ajax on/off
- Allow new comments on/off in Wordpress
- Test with a regular Wordpress comment (works as expected; tested before removing submission box)
- Setting minimum replies/score/trust level to zero
- Changing between comments for all topics and link only (neither appear in either situation)

Happy to provide any additional info that may lead to a solution. Thanks in advance!
