I don't say this should be core. But currently Nodebb is lacking on this integration side in comparision to Flarum, Discourse and more. Which to me is a bit of shame. It's one of the largest platforms in the world, a bit better integration would not be too much to ask. But that's my opinion.

Wonder what happens if you just change the order with CSS 'order: 1' for example. By the looks of it you should already come pretty close this way.

@julian would it be possible to first go with the "old" way and later switch to ActivityPub without to much hassle?

Also wondering this, I found the "theme style" but that is really not industry standard. There should be a toggle, as well just listening to the OS our Browser preference. It looks like it doesn't do this currently.

@phenomlab made a typo. I mean Elestio.

That sounds interesting. Never heard of ActivityPub till now. The promise seems interesting.

I know this is always difficult to say, but any idea when v4 will be entering a RC state?

I'm still not sure weither I want to go for NodeBB or Discourse. Coming from building with Wordpress and PHP software it all feels far out of my league. But just the other day I found Elastio which seemingly makes installing as easy as I'm used to with PHP applications.

Just wondering does anyone has experience with Elastio? We just started a very small community about snowboarding, wanting to add a forum and comment option to our Wordpress site. So our budget is very tight. Elastio recommends quite a high "tier" for productions sites, which makes me wonder is this actually necessary or can I do with their "recommended for testing enviroments" tier?

Also happy to know if there are any other easy options available. I do like the "managed" part, so I don't need to be busy keeping NodeJS up-to-date or something like that.

@julian also currently you can't reply to others in the Wordpress comments "plugin" is this something on the roadmap to update?

Thanks @julian, I have seen the github plugin. This still requires manual code in Wordpress. Not a huge deal, but still not as built in in Wordpress as a normal plugin.

This doesn't answer my question in regards to sharing of data. Is there any possibility to retrieve this data in Wordpress or vice versa?

I don't want people to have two profile pages: one in WP and one in Nodebb. So I somehow need to be able to retrieve the data about topics, posts etc. That way I can easily built a one in all profile page within Wordpress which also allow users to do other stuff in WP.

Edit: from what I understand there is a SSO plugin, although I have not found it yet. Still: would really like to be able to just create one profile page for my users.

@julian Is this on the NodeBB side or on Wordpress? As I can't seem to find it.

And does this plugin also handle the:

• Create topic on post
• Comments on post

Or do you still need to add extra code for that? Because specificly this is something that for example Discourse handles for you in their plugin. Also adding UI options within your post sidebar.

It would be awesome if it was possible to retrieve all the "meta" data from NodeBB into Wordpress. So we could build a single profile page with all the custom Wordpress information, aswell as all the NodeBB forum information.
This would then also be a great moment to officially create a plugin to handle SSO and Comments just like Discourse has.

Why hasn't there been made a plugin for this? Instead of still needing to put manually code changes in?
