I have read so many discussions and articles from DigitalOcean (DO) and a few from this Meta community on how to install Discourse or how to install Wordpress (WP) on one or multiple droplets (via DO). My question is… **What is the most optimized way to set up WP and Discourse to run together, on a single droplet?** I’d love to get some step-by-step help from the community to know the best way to deploy WP/Discourse to be optimized for security, minimal resource usage, etc. It seems the building these on a LEMP stack is a great approach and that’s what I’d like to do… but I’m just not savvy enough to make sure I’m not missing anything!) Any help would be greatly appreciated and I presume would help many people! > Great conversation and some strong advice from @codinghorror over here, talking about how, as a best practice, Discourse should be set up as a subdomain and not a subdirectory: [https://meta.discourse.org/t/wordpress-with-discourse-in-a-subfolder/45087/3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wordpress-with-discourse-in-a-subfolder/45087/3) Thanks Jeff! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/comprehensive-guide-to-setting-up-wordpress-with-discourse-on-digitalocean/94624)._
