Users are experiencing an issue with the home logo URL in their subfolder Discourse installations. The logo URL points to the root of the domain (‘/’) instead of the community root (‘/forum’). Despite this, clicking the logo usually brings users to the correct community root. However, some users have reported instances where the logo incorrectly directs them to the root of the entire website.
To address this, Falco suggested a fix from a related discussion but it did not work for BenRoe and doserved. Falco recommends pinging @eviltrout for further assistance since the suggested fix was unsuccessful.
I just noticed that the logo (home) url points to the ‘/’ of the domain in my subfolder installation and yet, when I click on it, in most cases it correctly brings me to the root of the community, which is ‘/forum’ in my installation. Is it supposed to be like that? How is it implemented?
The reason I bring this up, and how I noticed this in the first place, is that it somehow broke down for me earlier today. I.e. clicking on the home logo began bringing me to the root of the entire website, not the root of the community. I then rebuilt the container and it seems to have fixed it.
How how exactly does this work and why not put the correct community root url in the header in the first place?
