I am using discourse 2.6.0.beta1 with `relative_url_root = /forum` and I have noticed a couple issues.
One issue is that several links, for example “Latest” on the main page, point to `/latest` instead of `/forum/latest`. The links do work, but the status bar shows the incorrect value when hovering.
Another issue is that I was trying to see if I could make links to categories without the trailing number, like `/forum/c/staff`. This doesn’t work because it redirects to `/forum/forum/c/staff/3`.
They are not major problems, but I thought I would report them since it doesn’t seem like they are known bugs.

Subfolder issues do creep in. Are you on latest?

I have just upgraded to latest and I see the same behavior.

I’m seeing admin confirmation links with the `relaztive_url_root` duplicated on 2.5.0.

Fixed via:

I’m unable to repro both of the above issues on latest Discourse version.

Thanks, Arpit. These people (whose installation I’m not managing) are on 2.5.0. Can you help me understand where `confirm_admin_url` gets defined so that I can confirm that it’s a bug in their version of Discourse?

I’m looking at it appears to call something called confirm\_admin\_url, but I can’t find where that’s defined. I’m not sure where to look to see if it’s a bug or some configuration issue (but this is the only place this problem is showing up).

I just replied on above topic. 🙂
