Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WP Discourse
All of the plugin's functionality except for using Discourse as the DiscourseConnect provider for WordPress works with multisite configurations.
No this plugin acts as an interface between Discourse and WordPress. For it to work you will need to first set up Discourse forum. You can install Discourse for yourself following either of these guides: Install Discourse in Under 30 Minutes

This is done by hooking into the filters that are applied to each template. For more details on template customization, take a look at the Template Customization topic on the Discourse Meta forum.
Not automatically. You need to apply custom HTML&CSS to Discourse in order to match the theme of your WordPress site. To create a coherent top menu, see our tutorial on how to make a Custom nav header
