Description

Experience Level: Entry
We have a Wordpress membership site. Lot of active members.

We have a discourse forum. Lot of active members.

Want a single login, coming from Wordpress for all members. If a Wordpress member is activated, he's active in the forum. If disabled in Wordpress, he's also unable to log into the forum.

A plugin exists for this. Will need a bit of work to deal with existing members.

TO GET THIS CONTRACT:

Very briefly, what's the plugin and what extra work needs to be done for successful integration?

We have LOTS of work if you're good at this Always projects around, plenty to do. The hardest part of setting up this kind of thing, is weeding through the 90% of Indian ChatGPT spam and copy-paste proposals. While you may have to deal with silly prospects, we got the same challenges. Let's connect, make this happen!

    The plugin you're looking for is DiscourseConnect (formerly Single Sign-On - SSO), which allows Discourse to authenticate users via WordPress. The WP Discourse plugin facilitates this integration.

    Extra Work Needed for a Smooth Integration:
    Migrating Existing Members – Ensuring current Discourse users are properly linked to their WordPress accounts without duplicate or orphaned accounts.
    Syncing User Roles & Status – Making sure WordPress user roles (Active/Disabled) are reflected in Discourse, preventing disabled WordPress members from logging into the forum.
    Handling Username Conflicts – If usernames differ between platforms, a mapping strategy needs to be in place.
    Testing & Debugging – Ensuring seamless login/logout functionality across both platforms, particularly with caching/CDN in place.
    Performance Optimization – Avoiding slow authentication responses by optimizing API calls between WordPress and Discourse.
    I get the struggle of filtering through generic proposals—let’s cut through the noise and make it work. Let’s connect!
