Thanks! I checked out the plugin on [wordpress.org](http://wordpress.org)

So it looks like the plugin lets you cross-post wordpress posts into a discourse site, for discussion and comments etc, is that right?

Example:  
On this story on [boingboing.net](http://boingboing.net) =\> [This mini-printer makes memos anywhere with zero ink refills - Boing Boing](https://boingboing.net/2019/02/20/this-mini-printer-makes-memos.html)  
if you click “34 comments” it goes to the discourse site at [bbs.boingboing.net](http://bbs.boingboing.net) to  
[This mini-printer makes memos anywhere with zero ink refills - boing - Boing Boing BBS](https://bbs.boingboing.net/t/this-mini-printer-makes-memos-anywhere-with-zero-ink-refills/139318)

Which has “Read entire post” and if you click that, it shows entire post that’s on [boingboing.net](http://boingboing.net) wordpress blog.

What if I don’t want to cross post, i.e. only have the discourse site as the main news site? Can I achieve that using this plugin, and somehow keep the wordpress site out of view of the search engines and stuff (i.e. use wordpress as the discourse posting engine) ?

Thank you!
