Hello Hailo,

What you’re describing is how [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) is intended to work.

On the Discourse side of things there is an `auth immediately` site setting that, as the setting name implies, immediately initiates the authentication flow. However, as the setting description notes:

> Automatically redirect to the external login system without user interaction. This only takes effect when login\_required is true, and there is only one external authentication method

Assuming your site is not `login required` what you can do is link directly to the [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) authentication endpoint from Wordpress, rather than the base Discourse domain. See further:

> [@Automatic account creation and login when login\_required is false](https://meta.discourse.org/t/automatic-account-creation-and-login-when-login-required-is-false/352796/2):
>
> You can achieve that by linking to https://community.example.com/session/sso for authenticated users in your application. That will trigger the login / account creation flow. You could also add the parameter ?return\_path to link to a specific page. For unauthenticated users you should still link to https://community.example.com.
