Embedding private discussions on a wordpress site

That’s how it already works. if you try to link to a thread on a site set to private, it will direct you to the login. Here’s what it looks like on mine (we use SSO so it’s not Discourse default.)

It won’t pull the OpenGraph stuff because it’s private and it can’t see it. You’ll have to hand-code that if you want it to appear.

There is no way I know of to flag individual discussions to ignore the site’s settings for privacy. Even with page publishing, it respects the privacy of the source.
