The WP Discourse plugin acts as an interface between your WordPress site and your Discourse community.
Use Discourse for comments:
- Automatically creates a forum topic for discussion when a new blog post is published.
- Associates WP author accounts with their respective Discourse accounts. Does not require DiscourseConnect.
- Replies from the forum discussion can be embedded in the WP blog post. Select which replies to display based on post score and commenter “trust level” — see docs.

DiscourseConnect
The plugin also comes with optional DiscourseConnect functionality which lets you use your WordPress site as the DiscourseConnect provider for your Discourse forum.
This will override Discourse’s native (and powerful) login flow and is only recommended for use cases that strictly require such a setup, e.g. a site that is already using WordPress for large scale user management.
Authentication from Discourse to WordPress
The plugin allows you to use Discourse as an authentication provider for your WordPress site.
Note
The WP Discourse plugin requires PHP version 5.4.0 and greater. If >=PHP-5.4.0 is not available, the plugin installation will fail.
