Not sure why that one is no longer working, but you may want to try this one instead:

> [@Wp-discourse-shortcodes plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wp-discourse-shortcodes-plugin/48910):
>
> This is a simple plugin that extends the wp-discourse plugin by adding shortcodes for creating links from WordPress to your Discourse forum. It adds shortcodes for [discourse\_link] , for creating a login link to a specific endpoint on your forum, [discourse\_topic] for beginning a pre-filled topic, and [discourse\_message] for beginning a private message. See the plugin’s readme for more details. This plugin is only lightly tested, so let me know if you run into problems with it. [https://github.…](https://github.com/scossar/wp-discourse-shortcodes)

It’s created by @simon who is on the Discourse team and made the official [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin. In other words, more actively maintained / supported and likely to continue working for the long run!
