Slight annoyance with the redirect system

Hey guys,

Just want to report a small bug. Xenword works fine for me so far but when I try to login to WP admin, it redirects me to Xenforo's login page. I login there, try to go to wp-admin again, it says in Xenforo that I'm already logged in and I should return to the main page. I do that, then for the 3rd time, I go to wp-admin and it finally works. I'm not sure if this is something that can't be avoided due to Xenforo's login system but I thought I should post it here for reference.

This is due to the WordPress login through /wp-admin and why a notice is on the notification bar not to attempt to login through /wp-admin. It's best to login through the login widget or go to the XenForo installation and login then browse to the WordPress.

Sometimes, it is important to add the following to the wp-config.php

PHP:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

This is expected functionality and is what I explain to all of my authors that use the wordpress portal.

Ideally I would prefer it worked differently as for non-technical people/authors, they can have a lot of trouble with this.

I have defined the site in wp-config, I always do that to avoid certain issues :)

As for the login widget, I'm now working on pulling the avatar, inbox and alert icons from the admin bar to the menu bar of the site. I don't want to use the widget, I want to integrate both platforms seamlessly (to some extent).

Unfortunately, I haven’t played with the toolbar code yet for alerts and conversations.
