Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/iamntz/discourse-sso-provider-for-wp/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

What is this?

Discourse provides an official plugin that will enable you to use a WP instance as a SSO provider. That is, you can auth to your Discourse instance using your WP creditentials.

However, sometimes, you'll want to use it the other way around: Discourse users on a WP instance. This plugins allows you exactly that.

Usage:

  1. Install wp-discourse;
  2. Go to Settings -> Discourse and fill Discourse URL and SSO Secret Key;
  3. Use the [discourse_sso] shortcode anywhere you'd want the auth link to be shown. The default anchor is Log in with Discourse
  4. Obviously, you can specify an alternative anchor like this: [discourse_sso "Auth with my awesome discourse!"]

Done!

How about syncing users?

This is fairly simple:

  1. If you're already logged in into WP, then the Discourse profile will be added;
  2. If you're not already logged in, a new user will be created.

Todo

This project is in very incipient state, but there are some things I would like to add over time:

  • [ ] Add custom settings field (in order to not rely on wp-discourse or any other plugin);
  • [ ] Add a profile field that will allow to link/unlink Discourse;
