WP Discourse 1.3.0 Release

WP Discourse version 1.3.6 is now available in the WordPress plugin repository.

The biggest change that could affect your site is that Discourse categories are now being stored as an option, instead of as a transient. If you add categories to your forum that you’d like to be available on your WordPress site, you’ll need to select the Force Category Update option on the Publishing Settings tab to fetch the new categories. For fresh installations of the plugin, or fresh updates from a previous version to version 1.3.6, the Discourse categories will be fetched automatically.

A notification has been added to the WordPress new-post/edit-post screen that will be displayed after a post is published from WordPress to Discourse to indicate whether or not the post has been published successfully.

An option has been added to the Publishing settings tab to send an email to a site admin if publishing a post to Discourse fails. The email gives some indication about why the post failed to publish.
