Perhaps it’s my phrasing of the question that’s the issue.

My client will soon be extending their Wordpress site with a membership area. I want a user who registers on the Wordpress site to also be a user of the Discourse forum that I plan to embed into the site. I have read about the Discourse Wordpress plugin and that Wordpress SSO is supported by Discourse.

So maybe my question should be phrased:

1. How do I take my standalone Discourse forum and embed it into a Wordpress site so that when a user signs into the Wordpress site they are also signing into Discourse?
2. How do I migrate users so that existing Discourse users become Wordpress site users?
3. Is there a migration tool? Or otherwise what are the steps?
