dantheman is exploring the possibility of integrating Wordpress and Discourse. He wants to create “mini” forums related to specific topics on a separate page, and is unsure if this is possible, as well as if Wordpress and Discourse can be integrated. erlend_sh responded that creating separate forums is achievable by matching specific sections to categories or tags in Discourse, and using RSS feeds or the API to pull in content. Additionally, erlend_sh confirmed that hosting Wordpress and Discourse on the same dedicated server is possible, and provided a link to a guide: https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247?u=erlend_sh.
Recently heard about discourse (I know I’m very late to the party) but i was wondering if anyone would be able to answer a few questions I have.
Firstly, my website has several pages relating to a specific topics and the aim would be to have several “mini” forums on a separate page related to this. Is this possible? And secondly is this type integration with wordpress even possible? And finally is it possible to host wordpress and discourse on the same dedicated server?
This is not a lot to go by. Can’t you just link to your website? Short answer is: Sure, you could match specific sections to their own category or tag in Discourse, and even pull in content from this category/tag by using RSS feeds or the API.
