Posts can now be tagged when they are published with the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin. To tag a post, click on the Discourse meta box Advanced Options link to expand the meta box. Add tags to the Tag input, either one at a time, or as a comma separated list.
Any spaces in tag names will be converted to hyphens. The maximum number of tags is set by the ‘Maximum Number of Tags’ option found on the Publishing Settings tab. The maximum number of tags will default to 5 if the setting is left empty. Tags that are not allowed on Discourse due to Site Setting or category restrictions will be omitted when the post is published to Discourse.

Is there a way to hook into this to prepopulate specific custom post types with specific tags?

The [WP DIscourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin doesn’t have a hook that can be used to automatically add tags to a post before it gets published to Discourse. I’ll add a hook for that can be used for this and let you know when that has been done.

We haven’t yet added that hook. I’ll add it into the next release 👍

No, that release concerned another, specific, issue. I’ll make sure it’s in the next one.

You can use the `wpc_publish_body` filter to achieve this, e.g.
```php
add_filter( 'wpdc_publish_body', function( $body, $remote_post_type, $post_id ) {
if ( 'create_post' === $remote_post_type ) {
$body['tags'] = array( 'tag1', 'tag2' );
}
return $body;
}, 10, 3);
```
`2.4.5` adds `post_id` as a param to the filter to make the specific case of adding tags to posts of certain types easier.
