[coffee_lover (Code all day long!)]

Hi,

I installed the discourse plugin on wordpress its asking me for the admin api key, where do I find it ?

Thanks

[mikechristopher]

/admin/api

Or generate one from an admin user profile

I have installed the plugin but there’s nothing when I go to the URL, I thought maybe it needs to be done back end but I couldn’t find anything

You go to that URL on your Discourse forum not WordPress.

The discourse url is not yet setup as its asking for api key

[Grex315 (Steven Greco)]

To generate an API key go to yourdiscoursesite.com/admin/api. That is where you can generate an api key for the WordPress plugin. There will be a button that says generate key.

as I said the discourse site is not setup, plugin is installed but I can’t see discourse… It gives me a 404 page not found

The wp-discourse plugin acts as an interface between a WordPress site and a Discourse forum. To get it to work, you need to first set up both a WordPress site and a Discourse forum. You will find the admin api key in the admin section of your forum at ‘yourdiscoursesite.com/admin/api’.

The plugin’s documentation about this is not very clear. I’ll try to add to it later this week.

Hi Simon (@simon ),

Thanks for the reply, I did add it manually to composer.json is there anything else to do ?

[simon]

I’m not sure. You need to have a Discourse forum up and running to connect to your WordPress site. If you haven’t done that, you can follow either of these guides to do it:

Discourse | DigitalOcean Marketplace 1-Click App

or:
discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub

Once that is done you need to go to the Discourse site at <yourforumdomain>/admin/api and click on the button to generate a new api key. Copy and paste the api key into the Discourse API Key setting on your WordPress site.

Okay Thanks I will try that … Much appreciated !

こんにちは、この話題を取り上げて質問があります。Discourse サイトと WordPress サイトをお持ちで、全ユーザー用 API キーと単一ユーザー用 API キーの違いは以下の通りでしょうか：

• 全ユーザー：すべてのユーザーが Discourse と WordPress の両方を表示し、相互作用できます。
• 単一ユーザー：接続された特定のユーザーのみが WordPress と Discourse の両方と相互作用できます。

私の理解で正しいでしょうか？
全ユーザー用 API キーを生成し、すべての権限を付与することのリスクは何でしょうか？

ありがとうございます。

こんにちは、イブさん。API キーは接続の設定にのみ使用されます。

接続が設定されると、投稿権限を持つ WordPress ユーザーは、設定されている「公開」オプションに応じて、自分の投稿を Discourse に公開できます。

特定の管理者ユーザー用に API キーを生成し、「Wordpress」と名付けることをお勧めします。
