This plugin provides single sign-on capabilities for Discourse using WordPress user authentication.

== Description ==

Discourse is a fantastic new forum that can add another layer to your WordPress community. This plugin allows you to create a fluid experience by using your WordPress installation as the authentication server, creating a single-sign-on (SSO) for your users!

Notes:

*   The Discourse option "Staff must approve all new user accounts before they are allowed to access the site." needs to be disabled for this to work properly.

Some Features:

*   Seamless integration into almost any WordPress installation.
*   Get setup within minutes through 3 easy steps. Anyone can do it.
*   Additional integration with MemberMouse.

Coming Soon:

*   Only allow access with certain capabilities or roles.
