Django-Machina forum panel not showing in wagtail admin panel

I have a wagtail project being developed, essentially a blog with a forum. I chose django-machina as the forum I want to use because of how modular it is and how well it integrates into existing projects.

I followed the instructions in the documentation without issue, and the install was a success. I can access the app by going to /forum on my project.

However, the next step in the documentation refers to using the forum admin panel. My wagtail admin menu does not have a section for forum and I can't access the django admin panel as it is a wagtail project.

Where exactly can I access the django-machina forum admin panel in a wagtail project? Or would I have to recreate it somehow?

Jake, it's not so difficult. Let your project be named 'my_project'. So than we should go to my_project/my_project/urls.py. There we see something like this:

url(r'^django-admin/', admin.site.urls),

And what this string say to us? It show how to get the vanilla django-admin! Ok, now just go to your.site/django-admin and run your forum! ;)

Unless the documentation specifically mentions Wagtail, it's more likely that the admin panel shows up in the Django admin backend rather than the Wagtail one. On a standard Wagtail project this is found at the URL /django-admin/, but it depends on what you have specified in your project's urls.py file.
