"install this theme component" does not work with DiscourseConnect

bug
1
  • enable DiscourseConnect
  • Use the Install this Theme Component button
  • Get a weird error message

The image displays a computer window with an instruction to install theme or component, specifically for WordPress version 5.1. The window also includes a prompt for the user to update the site or follow manual instructions. (Captioned by AI)

Other variations are (depending on the discourse_connect_url)

Excon::Error::TooManyRedirects
Expected([200, 302]) <=> Actual(301 Moved Permanently)

Even if you’re already logged in? (since it’s you, I assume you thought of that, but it’s all I’ve got).

Yes - but apparently the plugin for this button makes a request from the backend of Meta to the forum, which is obviously not authenticated.
