How to set up wordpress as a subdirectory of discourse

[Garrick]

So i have a problem in which I had installed the main discourse at the top level. Years later I dont want to lose any google ranking on seo.

I was told creating the site at https://news.xxxxxx.com would cause google to not crawl properly and would have to give a different sitemap.

Main thing is I dont want to hurt my DA score or google searching. In other sites I would find it easy to add the folder and install the wordpress there but not sure how this works with discource since Im not familiar too much with docker.

What would be the best solution in this?

Only half of this is true!

If you want google to crawl your site properly, submit the sitemap for news.example.com through google search console.
