I’m at a complete loss and I would love to move forward with Discourse but I can’t find documentation that’s up to date because so much that I’ve read is deprecated. Here is the gist. Use Case: I have a member only site I’m creating. Users pay to access the content which is a blend of private videos, files and then access to the Discourse forum. Setup: I’m running the main site at http://theonefifty.com where it’s powered by WordPress, I’m running Discourse at http://cohort.theonefifty.com What I want: Users come to the WordPress site, fill out an application and once it’s reviewed and approved I manually create their Discourse account.

For this custom header, create a new customization called “Header Nav”. [image] To implement this sample nav, we need some CSS, HTML, and javascript to show and hide the d…
