Hi!

I need to make a forum like [forums.paddling.com](http://forums.paddling.com). Yes, I checked they are using Discourse. Actually, I have a WordPress site which has shared hosting from Hostinger. I need to know how I can integrate it with Discourse as non-tech beginner. Secondly, is it $100 is a lifetime package to run a forum plus blog? What about auto-updates? If you have any guide please share.

Secondly, I also want to run a blog area where the only admin would able to make posts. Share your views.

The best way to get started is with the wp-discourse plugin that allows you to connect Discourse and WordPress and a lot of functional integrations e.g.:

1. Single Sign on
2. Display Discourse comments on wordpress
3. Sync user data

No, it’s $100/month to get a fully managed Discourse hosting from [discourse.org](http://discourse.org). alternatively, you can self-host Discourse yourself on a VPS. Shared hosting won’t work.  
Here is a very informative install guide:

> [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)

That can be achieved through category permissions.

?

You’ll need a working Discourse instance and a working WordPress instance before you can use the plugin.

The plugin will work with a wordpress instance on shared hosting but Discourse can not be hosted on a shared hosting.

The plugin is a free, open source one, there is no subscription associated with it but You need both, Discourse and WordPress before you can use the plugin.
