Issues with category selection in WP-Discourse

I’m having real trouble with the latest version of WP-Discourse (0.6.6)
It’s not pulling the categories across from Discourse and nothing I do seems to change that.

Help!

I am looking into this issue now.

Hi @HAWK,

I am unable to repro this issue on a fresh WP instance I just set up:

If you can PM me your WP Admin credentials I can check why you are having this issue.

The “There was an error returning the category list from Discourse” error message in your screenshot indicates that there is a problem with the plugin’s configuration. If you go to the WP Discourse Connection settings tab, are you seeing a notice saying that “You are connected to Discourse”?

For the API Key field on that page, have you entered an All Users API Key? If not, could you try changing the API Key to an All Users API Key? On Discourse the key should be generated like this:

For the WP Discourse Publishing Username field, try using the name of the Discourse system user. Unless you have edited that username on Discourse, you should enter system into the Publishing Username field.
