Brandon007 is looking to embed the latest or selected Discourse posts on a static WordPress page. He wants the embedded posts to include user icons and auto-update.
Brandon007 mentions that using RSS would work, but it doesn’t include user icons. He’s looking for a solution similar to embedding a forum on a specific WordPress post.
pfaffman provides a potential solution, linking to a meta discussion on embedding Discourse topics.
After trying the solution, Brandon007 reports that it works and adds some feature improvement suggestions to the linked discussion thread.
Is it possible to automatically embed the latest or selected posts?
I know Discourse can be embedded on a specific Wordpress post in a comment style forum. However, I’m wondering about a static Wordpress page. The closest I see is using RSS which would work, but it leaves out the users icon.
I’m looking for something like this…
This would be used on a static page to show what some of the community is discussing and would auto update. Thanks so much.
Thanks @pfaffman!
I want to say I tried this before and it didn’t work, but I’ll give it another go and report back when I do.
Mr. Jay, I had some time to give all that a spin. It works!
I added some details to that thread for feature improvements. Thanks again.
