I have my discourse configured to go to, for example, “[http://test.example.com](http://test.example.com)”, my wordpress site is on [dev.example.com](http://dev.example.com). After I make a post (“A Fun Test”) I get a “Start the discussion at [test.example.com](http://test.example.com)” but the link is going to [http://dev.example.com/a-fun-test/](http://dev.example.com/a-fun-test/) when it should go to [http://test.example.com/t/a-fun-test/33](http://test.example.com/t/a-fun-test/33)
My wp-discourse is on this master branch for my test server and production server; and for some reason I cannot duplicate the problem on my production server and production discourse. So this is working in one situation but not the other.
I also have a version of my website running in a virtual machine, and it to seems to be able to post to my test discourse.

Seems like a configuration or database issue on your dev install. There shouldn’t be anything in the plugin itself that would cause this.

I was able to resolve this issue. I cleared the settings from the database and reinstalled the plugin. Thanks for your help
