Basically, the form for invite requests is published directly at `my-discourse-website.com/login` page

Users need to fill out a short questionnaire and specify why they want to join our platform (we are a group engaged with community outreach, public legislation proposals etc.)

There is also a form on an inner custom page accessible by members where they can request an invite for a friend. All invite requests are reviewed by moderators.

Actually, I’ve also got a reply from Jeff Atwood with regards to adding a file to web root:

> [@Adding a file to Discourse web root folder?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-a-file-to-discourse-web-root-folder/102466/4):
>
> This is not possible. You need to verify through DNS records.

So I will be seeking other options. Thank you for the tips about Memberful and WP plugins, I’ll explore them further.
