Hi, I installed the discourse plugin on wordpress its asking me for the admin api key, where do I find it ? Thanks :slight_smile:

/admin/api Or generate one from an admin user profile

I have installed the plugin but there’s nothing when I go to the URL, I thought maybe it needs to be done back end but I couldn’t find anything

The discourse url is not yet setup as its asking for api key

To generate an API key go to yourdiscoursesite.com/admin/api. That is where you can generate an api key for the WordPress plugin. There will be a button that says generate key.

as I said the discourse site is not setup, plugin is installed but I can’t see discourse.. It gives me a 404 page not found

The wp-discourse plugin acts as an interface between a WordPress site and a Discourse forum. To get it to work, you need to first set up both a WordPress site and a Discourse forum. You will find the admin api key in the admin section of your forum at ‘yourdiscoursesite.com/admin/api’. The plugin’s documentation about this is not very clear. I’ll try to add to it later this week.

Hi Simon (@simon ), Thanks for the reply, I did add it manually to composer.json is there anything else to do ?

I’m not sure. You need to have a Discourse forum up and running to connect to your WordPress site. If you haven’t done that, you can follow either of these guides to do it: [image] Discourse | DigitalOcean Marketplace 1-Click App The popular Ruby-on-Rails-based discussion platform or: discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub Once that is done you need to go to the Discourse site at /admin/api and click on the button to generate a new api key. Copy and paste the api key into the Discourse API Key setting on your WordPress site.

Okay Thanks I will try that .. Much appreciated !

You go to that URL on your Discourse forum not WordPress.
