Everytime I try to post an article in Wordpress, I end up with the following errors:
> Warning: file\_get\_contents([forum.jk-junkies.com/posts](http://forum.jk-junkies.com/posts)): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/1/d563246168/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-discourse-master/lib/discourse.php on line 469

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong here?

Are you using the latest version of the plugin?

Yup. 0.6.3 Grabbed directly from [GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse)

This is because the plugin [isn’t generating good enough errors right now](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/blob/9be62c9943a94aac5c739254fbf84c345fc86726/lib/discourse.php#L472). Try verifying all of the plugin settings to make sure that they’re correct.
If you’re still running into errors at that point, try doing a `var_dump($json);` in lib/discourse.php on L472

This is a poorly implemented WordPress plugin - I would suggest the developer switch from using `file_get_content` to `wp_remote_get` for best practices.

Agreed, which is why lately I’ve started to help out. It would be awesome if others jumped in, too. I’d really appreciate a PR (or at least a GitHub issue) if you have a moment.
👍 on switching to `wp_remote_get`

You’ve over estimated my technical knowledge. All my settings I’m pretty sure are correct, but I have no idea what ^that^ means.

I’m wondering if this might be the problem? Seems it should be looking for the file at /blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-discourse-master/lib/discourse.php
Thoughts @benword, @DeanMarkTaylor?

Only guessing…
It’s trying to load a file `forum.jk-junkies.com/posts` and this should probably be something like `http://forum.jk-junkies.com/posts` so perhaps in the settings for the plugin you need to include the extra `http://`.
