WP Discourse

Description

The WP Discourse plugin acts as an interface between your WordPress site and your
Discourse community.

Use Discourse for comments:

• Automatically creates a forum topic for discussion when a new blog post is published.
• Associates WP author accounts with their respective Discourse accounts. Does not require DiscourseConnect.
• Replies from the forum discussion can be embedded in the WP blog post. Select which replies to display
  based on post score and commenter “trust level” — see docs.

See it live

• blog.discourse.org
• boingboing.net

DiscourseConnect

The plugin also comes with optional DiscourseConnect functionality which lets you use your WordPress site as the
DiscourseConnect provider for your Discourse forum.

This will override Discourse’s native (and powerful) login flow and is only recommended for use cases
that strictly require such a setup, e.g. a site that is already using WordPress for large scale user management.

Authentication from Discourse to WordPress

The plugin allows you to use Discourse as an authentication provider for your WordPress site.

Note

The WP Discourse plugin requires PHP version 5.4.0 and greater. If >=PHP-5.4.0 is not available, the plugin installation
will fail.

Contact

• The plugin is being developed by Simon Cossar on behalf of the Discourse team.

• Bug reports and other developer inquiries should be directed at our GitHub Issues:
  https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/issues

• Please post support requests to our dedicated support forum

Blocks

FAQ

Does it work with a WordPress multisite configuration?

All of the plugin’s functionality except for using Discourse as the DiscourseConnect provider for WordPress works with multisite configurations.

Does this plugin install Discourse for me?

No this plugin acts as an interface between Discourse and WordPress. For it to work you will need to first set up
Discourse forum. You can install Discourse for yourself following either of these guides:

• Install Discourse in Under 30 Minutes
• How to use the Discourse One-Click Application on DigitalOcean

Can I import old WordPress comments as Discourse comments (i.e. “replies”)?

No.

Do WordPress and Discourse have to be installed on the same server?

The plugin uses the Discourse API, so your forum and blog can be hosted separately and the integration will still work.
In fact, we strongly recommend hosting the two applications separately, since their hosting requirements are very different.

Is it possible to customize the comment templates?

Yes, the html templates used for publishing posts on Discourse and for displaying comments on WordPress can be customized in your theme.
This is done by hooking into the filters that are applied to each template.

For more details on template customization, take a look at the Template Customization topic
on the Discourse Meta forum.

Can my Discourse theme inherit the styling of my WordPress theme?

Not automatically. You need to apply custom HTML&CSS to Discourse in order to match the theme of your WordPress site.

It is good at what it’s doing.

Perfect Plugin For A WordPress Forum

flywithpro March 16, 2018

Easy to use and many more great features. Highly recommended

Easy integration with Discourse forum

omarfilip November 22, 2017

Great plugin from an author who is super helpful. It’s officially supported by the Discourse team and makes integration between WordPress and Discourse a breeze.

First Impressions Matter

Samuel October 20, 2017

I asked a question in the official forum over at https://meta.discourse.org/ and instead of getting an answer, or a reply, it was deleted without any notification. Shows how much you care about your users. I was expecting more.

Fantastic Plugin! Great support & well managed – Highly recommended!

mikeb62 October 16, 2017

Suggested a feature and it was rolled out within weeks. Dev is incredibly responsive & helpful. There’s also a ton of support & guides in the forum over at https://meta.discourse.org. Plugin is simple to use but VERY comprehensive, and SSO has worked seamlessly. If you’re looking to integrate WP with Discourse, I can’t recommend this enough!
