WP Discourse not displaying on WP self hosted site

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around displaying a Discourse site on a WordPress site using the WP Discourse plugin. digitalgerry initially sought advice on how to display Discourse on their WordPress site, but simon clarified that the plugin only allows publishing posts from WordPress to Discourse and displaying a selection of Discourse comments on WordPress. digitalgerry accepted this limitation and decided to direct users to their Discourse site.

However, frold suggested that embedded posts can be shown using a widget in WordPress, but commenting still requires users to visit the Discourse site. When digitalgerry struggled to add a widget, frold recommended creating an HTML widget and using a function from the Discourse Meta site. frold also shared their own coded solution and a showcase of a WordPress and Discourse site.

Hi all
I’ve got a very vanilla Discourse site and I’m wanting it to display on my WP site.
I’m using WP Discourse, its connected but I cannot workout how to get the Discource showing on the site… to then test if I can post from my site…

I’ve interrogated all the documentation and nowjere does it say how to display on your WP site… any advice appreciated

Do you mean that you are trying to embed Discourse on your WordPress site? If so, this isn’t possible. The plugin allows you to publish posts from WordPress to Discourse and display a selection of Discourse comments on WordPress. Users will need to go to your Discourse site to create comments.

Ah
That would explain why then!

So give then my link and let them get started… I see wasn’t what I wanted but there you go :slight_smile:

You can show embedded post by using a widget in WP… if so… but to comment you have to do as @simon says..

How? as I’, trying to add a widget and no options showing… sorry this seems a minefield in itself

You could create a html widget and use this function:
