Installed bbpress successfully on personal WP blog. No problems.

Attempted install on second blog and I get an odd error when trying to access admin. After entering keymaster name/password and clicking login, I get redirected to:

https://(blogname).com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/

(WP plugins folder now seems a weird place to install, but I was just jumping in)

The redirect address just takes me to a “not found” page on the WP blog. So, I go back to the initial /bbpress/ location and the keymaster name shows as logged in. All links appear to function fine except for Admin. Clicking on this does nothing.

What’s the correct URL supposed to be?

If you installed bbPress under WP plugins, that’s never gonna work. It’s a stand alongside app.

(should bb have a URL check on setup? If in wp-content/plugins, then ABORT!)

Thanks. Will uninstall and reinstall in a proper directory. What’s best practice for install location?
