Hypothetically, can I migrate my WordPress [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) forum to Discourse Standard $100/mo? Thanks.

Any Discourse forum can be migrated to official hosting, as described on our hosting page.

Just to be clear. You’re using something like bbpress or some other WordPress forum plugin?

There is no such thing as a wp-discourse plugin forum. With the wp-discourse plugin you have a Discourse site and a WordPress site that are connected together. If you were to move to standard hosting, you’d likely still want the wordpress site.

Thank you very much for the clarification. Therefore, I need to purchase Discourse Standard plan in order to connect the Discourse forum with my Wordpress site. Right?

Not necessarily. You could self-host but if you’d prefer a hosted plan then yes, the WP integration will work on our Standard plan.
