Hi there; I was wondering if it was possible to connect multiple Wordpress installations (SSO) with 1 Discourse install? The reason I’m asking is that there are a lot of smaller private groups in my community and I want to offer them the ability to have their own private Category that nobody else (…

Yes, provided each WP site has its own distinct category in the Discourse instance. This is configurable within the WP-Discourse WordPress plugin settings.

Thanks @codinghorror :slight_smile: I’m glad to hear it’s a least possible. I’m fairly familiar with installing WP plugins (both through the WP installer and through FTP) but this looks very foreign to me. From my understanding this is a Wordpress plugin, correct? Not a Discourse plugin? Is it rel…

SSO requires a single source of authority, you can’t combine that with multiple WordPress sites. Best to not use SSO.

Ugh oh… @codinghorror - I tried to set this up last night based off the details provided on that site and now none of my users can log in! Nothing happens when they click the login button. Can you please help? My community can’t access their site now. I found this thread about how to fix it: Setup…

Ok… thankfully my designer was still logged in and able to fix it. Now back to the issue at hand. @codinghorror , @riking , how would you suggest I go about getting something created that CAN do what I want? In a nutshell, I’d like to be able to: Create a private category on my forum for communit…

I don’t think this is possible because you can only set one sso url.

There are also probably potential issues with duplicate emails and ex…

Would it be possible to hire a dev to do some custom work on the discourse install and make it possible? I mean… possible is only limited by budget, right? :slight_smile: I’m just wondering what kind of scope I’m looking at here. Thanks a bunch by the way! -Adam

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant have multiple Wordpress sites posting data (topics) to the same Discourse instance, not SSO.

Nope :slight_smile: No problem @codinghorror . All is well and I’ve learned my lesson to never muck around with a live site! Although I’m running into a new problem. Even with almost 4 gigs of ram, my site is still crawling when I get more than 100 people on it at a time. But… I’ll need to customiz…

It might very well be.

But with over 7K files and ~200 gems to look into it sounds like an awful big task for someone from the outside to tackle. Especially when a dev involved with the app says
