Hi I need some help, I want to replace the old forum I have that I have embedded into the web UI of my application and a couple other domains, is there a way to embed onto my websites and only allow those domains for example?

Embedding is not a good idea, as Discourse was never built with it in mind.
We suggest adding matching designs between your main site and Discourse, using Single Sign on, adding Discourse widgets like [Embedding a list of Discourse Topics in another site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-a-list-of-discourse-topics-in-another-site/125911) and so on.

Not supported. If you need this, choose some other free open source tool

How is it not supported? can’t I just allow same origin iframing and be done?
that is all I need
phpbb just a example (not the best example) has a simple tick box option for it and I am pretty sure most forums do.

We don’t build for it, test for it, etc… discussing/fixing “embed discourse in an iframe” related issues isn’t something we want to spend time on.
The typical alternatives are:
- [Theme Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-using-discourse-themes/91966) to match your site styles (and possibly replicate your site nav)
- [Embed comments using Javascript](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963) and link to Discourse
