The discussion revolves around integrating Discourse with WordPress, specifically displaying Discourse below the WordPress header on a WordPress page. internetman sought help, sharing examples of successfully integrated sites. ccdw provided a step-by-step guide using CSS, but internetman clarified that this method might not achieve the desired result, suspecting custom code in the WordPress theme is necessary.
Grex315 shared a tutorial on adding header menu links in Discourse. Later, Grex315 advised against embedding Discourse into a WordPress site, recommending instead to link to the Discourse site and customize the appearance with CSS/HTML in the header section, as seen in the initially referenced site.
Hello, and thanks for this great software!
I have been searching the support forum and how found many examples of sites which integrate WP and discourse like this: https://community.namati.org/
However, please excuse my lack of understanding, I cannot see how to do this on my own. Does this have to be specifically integrated per wordpress theme, or is there some generic code I can put in a special wordpress page which then shows discourse after the wordpress header on my page?
Cheers!
This is a good tutorial on how to do it.
Thank you @ccdw and @Grex315 for the helpful tips!
I am not sure if the css option you provided does exactly what I am looking for though. To maybe make my explanation clearer I will provide visual examples below. To be able to do this, I guess there needs to be some custom code in the wordpress theme?
Wordpress landing home page:
Wordpress page, with discourse forum below header:
If you are talking about embedding Discourse into your wordpress site I would advise against that. Plus I am pretty sure its not supported. Instead simply have that forum link go to your discourse site and then add code into the customization > CSS/HTML > Header section like @ccdw shows to make it look like your wordpress site. That is what the site you initially reference does.
