I’ll be happy to help.

You can use [https://dashboard.literatecomputing.com/](https://dashboard.literatecomputing.com/) to create a new droplet and install Discourse there. You’ll select " Pro Installation (Custom SMTP) ($400)" to use your custom SMTP setup. That’ll get Discourse installed.

If you have an existing droplet named `forum.example.com`, please delete it before starting the installation. The script will create a new droplet with its SSH keys installed.

If you purchase that I’ll also help you get WordPress connected.
