By default XFtoWP fetches the OP content as the first "reply" in WP" when there're no forum replies. This doesn't make too much sense as the WP post already has the same content. I'd like to add a tailored message to all zero-forum-reply posts. How to get this done? I just want to change the content, nothing else.
This was designed back in version 1.0 with the intention of the author writing a different message for the forum thread opening post.
When used to post excerpts and full article lengths, as has proven to be the most common use case, I agree that it should be able to be different than OP.
Currently the only way to do it is to change the OP content on the forum, then the next time your comments refresh it will update the post.
If you'd like to post this to the feature request forum it will be easier to track. I've added it to my notes as it has been requested another time before.
Also I want to exclude the first message of all zero-forum-reply posts from the comment count which shows "1", but in fact it should be "0".
So, without a reply to the thread you are reporting that the plugin adds a 1 each time you connect a thread with no replies?
If I understand correctly, does the post also have 0 comments? If you have a page like this I can view, it will help me better understand the issue.
