Finding the API Key for Discourse Plugin
Rajesh_Choudhary is seeking help to find the API key for the Discourse plugin in WordPress. JagWaugh advises to go to /admin/api/keys on the Discourse site to generate and copy the API key. simon shares a link to the WP Discourse plugin installation and setup guide for further assistance.
However, david clarifies that the WP Discourse plugin is not used to create a forum within WordPress, but rather to interlink a WordPress website with a separate Discourse forum. pfaffman agrees, stating that Rajesh_Choudhary needs to install Discourse first, following the installation guide.
Go to /admin/api/keys on your Discourse site, if you haven’t generated one yet then you will need to. Then you can copy the key and paste it into the WP plugin.
Can you read through this and see if you still have any questions?

You are populating the SSO settings in WP right?. These are at WP-sitename/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_discourse_options
The API key needs to be generated at Discourse-sitename/admin/api/keys then you can copy the value of the key from the Discourse site to the setting on the WP site.
The SSO secret is similar, see @simon’s excellent instructions.

That’s not what the plugin does. Discourse is a separate application which (in most scenarios) runs on a separate server (see the install guide). The wordpress plugin allows a wordpress website and a Discourse forum to be interlinked, but you need to setup discourse first.
That sounds like the problem, @david. @Rajesh_Choudhary, you need to install Discourse first.
