Question
Installing Discourse to a droplet running Wordpress
Hi,
I’ve a wordpress instillation on a droplet (multisite configuration and on Apache server) and I’d like to add Discourse.
So my site is www.example.com and hosts my blog. I want Discourse on www.discourse.example.com.
I know there’s a Docker instillation available but I imagine installing that would mess my existing Wordpress instillation.
Any ideas on how I’d go about adding Discourse to my droplet?
Thanks!

Hi! I went into detail on how to do this in this previous question.. Take a look there for more information.
You’ll need to set up Discourse to run behind a reverse proxy like Nginx to direct requests between WordPress and Discourse. In particular take a look at the Nginx configuration I provided here.
