Hello Team,

We are trying to integrate discourse to WordPress in a way where we are able to fetch the engagement data (views, replies) and the title, topic and display it on WordPress.

What we want to achieve is the ability to display the topic, with the engagement on it in form of a shortcode. Is that possible at all??

Thanks in advance!

Adjust the comments\_number sync period for WordPress archive pages To get the correct number of Discourse comments for a post, the plugin needs to periodically make an HTTP request to Discourse to get the current comments number. On single pages this period is set to be no more often than every 10 minutes. For archive pages the period is set to no more than once every 24 hours. The reason for this is to a…
