Hi! I have recently discovered this site and it looks amazing. Please let me know if this question is not placed in the proper place but I didn’t know exactly where to ask. My question is about the integration with Wordpress. If i own a domain and install wordpress, i know discourse can be used to …

That’s pretty much it. Wordpress can post to discourse, and discusses comments can be embedded into WordPress rather than using WordPress comment system

@pfaffman thanks very much for your reply. My concern is how Discourse manages the fact of pages/posts. Also, if a user created a topic in discourse, will it be added as a post on wordpress? I love the way discourse is done, but i miss somehow adding my own footer for example. That’s why i’m willin…

Thanks @KevinWorkman I have not yet installed or tried Discourse so i didn’t know about the footer option. Your responsed have been really helpful to clarify.

@pfaffman can get your set up from the beginning, but to integrate wp and discourse, look at the wp plugin @simon authored.

@KevinWorkman by mix I meant to use wordpress and also discourse (with discourse.mysite.com ) I think that as you say the best is to start trying things out. However, if I now purchase Domain.com and I install Discourse on it, will I be able to later on use my installation of discourse at forum.domai…

Once you purchase a domain (e.g., domain.com ) you can create as many subdomains on it as you like. (e.g., one.domain.com , two.domain.com , forum.domain.com ). It’s something of a bother to move Discourse from one domain name to another. You can see just how much right here .

Hi Jay, I didn’t realize that. thanks for clarifying! Lea-Ann
