Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

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.

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

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.
