Plugin breaks /login redirection when WP installed in a subfolder

Hi, I’ve just discovered something odd with this plugin…

I’ve just installed a brand new WordPress site, but with WordPress installed into a subfolder while the site address points to the root directory.

In other words, on my General Settings page, I have the following:

WordPress Address = http://www.example.com/wordpress
Site Address = http://www.example.com

(This is a supported configuration as per http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)

Everything works perfectly fine, and the site is reachable at http://www.example.com.

There are a couple of URL aliases/redirections that are built into WP core, which work like this:

http://www.example.com/login -> http://www.example.com/wordpress/wp-login.php

http://www.example.com/admin -> http://www.example.com/wordpress/wp-admin

These are described at http://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/19607 and they work regardless of whether WordPress is installed into the root folder or a subfolder. The /login and /admin aliases will always redirect to the correct location of wp-login.php or wp-admin respectively. And they work fine for me on my new WordPress installation.

However, I then installed the Root Relative URLs plugin (and no other plugins at all).

Immediately afterwards, I discovered that these alias URLs no longer work! When I log out of WordPress and then go to http://www.example.com/login for example, it just gives me a 404 error instead of redirecting to http://www.example.com/wordpress/wp-login.php like it’s supposed to.

If I disable the Root Relative URLs plugin, then log out again and go to http://www.example.com/login, it redirects correctly as it should.

So it seems this plugin is breaking the redirection somehow. But I don’t know how, or how to fix it.

Any ideas?

I installed the Root Relative URLs plugin today and I had to change the example configuration in wp-config.php to the following:
```
define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/wordpress');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', '/wordpress/wp-content');
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
```
You’ll see that I altered the second and third line to include /wordpress
