I’m in the middle of trying to migrate my blog from WordPress (with Discourse comments) over to Ghost (with Discourse comments), and while having set up comments using the instructions at [Official Ghost + Discourse Integration](https://ghost.org/integrations/discourse/), I’ve run into a few issues to resolve.

Most importantly, when I go to a post that had existing Discourse comments (via the WordPress plugin), the comments section on the page sticks at “Loading Discussion…” forever. I had expected, and of course it’s rather crucial, that such embeds would link to the existing topic matching that URL.

Has anyone else migrating from WordPress to Ghost figured out a way to make that happen?

(See, for example, [Spooooky](https://eldraeverse.com/2024/10/28/spooooky/) and its corresponding topic [Spooooky - General - The Eldraeverse](https://eldraeverse.discourse.group/t/spooooky/748) .)

The configuration seems correct; the Discourse forum might have more information on this topic.

Thanks. I’m having some success getting it sorted out over there now.
