My organization is hoping to import a substanial Wordpress blog into Hubspot, while the post import worked well from the WP export we seem to have lost all of the comments. I’ve been trying to replicate them using the Blog Comments API but I’ve run into some limitations.
- There doesn’t appear to be a way to change the publish date of comments, so a post from 2017 would appear to have comments from 2023.
- There doesn’t appear to be a way to create nested comments from the API
This post from last year seems to have the same problem I do, where either adding the parent comment ID in the parentId field or the entire comment in the parent field returns it in the response but the comment isn’t threaded when viewing the blog post.
It’s not critical that I do this via the API, but is there any way to maintain either the dates or threading of blog comments that we’re importing? Thanks in advance!
