This is an interesting idea if I understand it well. Basically, you’d keep your forum as it is, and additionally have a homemade website in which the content would come from the forum’s data through Discourse’s API. Is that right?
@Stephen, WordPress has indeed fair points.
WP loads very quickly especially if you’re using a cache system, whereas Discourse needs to load the entire app, which always takes a while when you open it.
My site https://monocycle.info loads fast and navigating from page to page is almost instant.
The idea of removing WordPress is for several reasons that I listed, but I forgot to add that I’d like to make the forum more visible, and more obvious. I want people to see that there’s an active community as soon as they land on the site.
Registering and posting on Discourse is an enjoyable and painless experience both on desktop and mobile.
I could keep WP for the homepage only (or not much more), and move most content to Discourse’s topics/published pages.
Nice! I need to have another look at your plugin before filling out your wizard so I know exactly what features it provides and how it works overall.
