Dashboard link problem with Dashboard Embed and Remote URL Checked
I'm embedding Vanilla into a wordpress site. So far so good, other than the fact that I can't access the Dashboard from my forum when both "Dashboard Embed" and "Remote URL" options are both checked. What happens is that I click on the Dashboard link, and the window that pops up immediately redirects from mysite.com/vanilla/dashboard/settings to mysite.com/vanilla/index.php?=p (which then redirects to the embedded forum in wordpress).
my site.com/vanilla/index.php?p=/dashboard/settings does work for dashboard access, but I don't want to have to access dashboard from a bookmark.
Is there a way to make the dashboard link actually point to the dashboard?
Thanks

I found that as long as the dashboard link is opening in a new tab/window, it didn't get redirected into the embed, so I added the following code to end of the body in the default.master.tpl file of the Embed-Friendly theme:
{literal} <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function () { $('.Banner').find('li > a').eq(0).attr("target", "_blank"); }); </script> {/literal}Hope that helps someone else!

Does this help - there is an option in the embed vanilla.
Dashboard Embed Don't embed your forum admin dashboard (pop it out to full-screen)

Thanks!
