Apologies is this is already a feature, I cannot find any documentation.
I would like to be able to view multiple categories.
For example visiting https://meta.discourse.org/c/support+dev/ would show me the contents of support and dev combined.

I can't restore my backup...
I'm very unexpert... so I'll explain everything I did before.I'm trying to get wordpress and discourse on the same machine (by the way, if you have a guide for this specific purpose it would be fantastic)... since I had done some mistakes that I didn't understand, I've reinstalled discourse (with the beginners guide) and then I installed nginx following your howto, and I started to follow instructions to install LEMP and Wordpress with a Digital Ocean guide (but I stopped at apache installation, because I realized meanwhile that the whole guide looked a bit long and I prefer to restore my previous discourse as soon as possible).
Now, I'm trying to upload my last backup discourse file, but it seems stucked at 23%. Its weight is 10.2mb.
I've looked for old discussion and I found this: Backup uploads hang at 2% complete
There is said that the cause is a nginx limitation to file size upload... could be my case too? Any help?Thank you very much for patience!

I have a multisite web-only discourse container, with several sites discourse_a, discourse_b, etc, each with their own separate fqdn.
I've been using comment embedding on one static blog (call it blog A) without issue for a little while - topics are created on discourse_a and the embedded comments show up fine on Blog A.
Now I am trying to set the same thing up for Blog B. Discourse_b is working by itself, and has all the same embedding settings as discourse_a (with embedding host and topic feed pointing to Blog B of course). Blog B is the same kind of static site (Pelican), with an identical javascript embedding code block - but Blog B topics are not being created, and the iframe just sits there with "Loading discussion".
There are no errors in discourse_b/logs, and looking in the nginx logs inside the discourse container, I see:
==> nginx/access.log <== [04/Jan/2016:22:04:20 +0000] 172.17.42.1 "GET /embed/comments?embed_url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog_b.com%2Fpost-one.html HTTP/1.0" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0" "embed/comments" 200 3523 "https://blog_b.com/post-one.html" 0.045 0.045 "Ace" [04/Jan/2016:22:04:45 +0000] 172.17.42.1 "POST /message-bus/fc7d878148174c068e6200e4f2adef7b/poll?dlp=t HTTP/1.0" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0" "-" 200 470 "https://discourse_b.com/admin" 0.010 0.013 "-"The embedded code keeps polling like this indefinitely, getting status 200, but never creating a topic. I am not sure where else to look.
Any ideas for further debugging would be appreciated. I've checked that all the urls involved are valid and working, inspected the generated html in firebug, and compared Blog A and Blog B minutely without seeing any difference in how the embed js is called. I am not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for reading.

I am interested in using discourse, but it's hard to find out about this feature. There are threads asking how it works, but then the thread is just closed saying it was implemented.
Anyway, my main question is... if this feature is enabled, can people post without creating an account at all? That's what I want.
Thanks

Use the following paragraphs for a longer description, or to establish category guidelines or rules:
Why should people use this category? What is it for?
How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?
What should topics in this category generally contain?
Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?

I'd like to listen to the
profile_updateaction (or something similar) in Wordpress and push changes to theexternal_emailandexternal_avatar_urluser fields in Discourse so these changes are immediately synced across both platforms.Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Have been working very hard on improving engagement in our forum for Ukrainian/Russian goat farmers during last few months. As a result, we see in Google Analytics that the daily session number is growing and has recently doubled twice and went from 100 to 400 sessions per day.
One of the tricks we use that's working very well I'd love to see implemented as a feature. So far we've been doing it all manually.
We have some topics that everyone is welcome to write in, e.g. "How I became a goat farmer", "A few words about me" (a say-hello topic), as well as some polls.
Sometimes such topics don't get any interest for a long time and get lost in the topic lists... So, what I do then is manually invite people randomly to participate in the topic. It turns out that such invitations lead to the snowball effect: the topic pops up and others start to answer in the topic.
Based on this experience, I'd like to propose the following feature.
Let us (admins and/or mods) setup auto-invitation rules for each topic individually.
An invitation rule would be a set of conditions that are checked regularly on every user and, if met, an invitation is sent to that user to participate in the topic.
An invitation limit per-user is "once only" by default, but could be set to one of the following options:
- once only
- unlimited, but not more often than once every N days
- no more than X invitations, but not more often than once every N days
I noticed that some users skip invitations (actually, miss them) when they are subscribed to many topics / categories (means they have too many notifications everyday); so, repeating the same invitation eventually worked after the first one(s) had been skipped. That's why I suppose this is a good reason to allow invitations to be repeated, with some minimal configuration as proposed in the list above.
- Customize invitation text with a few macros available: {username}, {name}, {topic_title}, {topic_creation_date}
Customizing invitation text per-topic is an advanced feature, so probably it should be hidden till the "customize invitation text" checkbox is ticked.
Allow to target users of a specific group only, or specific user level(s), or those who have at least one of their topics created in a particular category. For the latter, a good example would be inviting goat farmers to a particular topic where some level of expertise is needed (not just those who love goats and buy goat milk). Knowing a user has their own topic in the "farmers personal pages" is a sign they're a goat farmer and have such expertise.
Per-topic invitation rules are to be set in a popup that can be opened by clicking on a new menu item available under the topic wrench menu:
Admin should be able to configure whether mods have access to this feature
An icon should be displayed in the topic lists signalling the topic has automatic invitations ON; visible only to those who have permission to configure automatic invitations.
I believe people would find a lot of applications for this feature once it's introduced, even those who haven't thought about it before. It would save admins/mods some time (set a rule and forget about it), as well as add more engagement possibilities.
