Answer 1

Please check the plugin code (checl all page modules ) . There mightbe one extra slashes are there . Check for the below two functions . There might be one extra slash added by mistake - 

 

function match_request($request)

{

if ($request=='blog')   // may be change to if ($request=='/blog') in the file 

return true;

 

return false;

}

 

function suggest_requests() // for display in admin interface

{

return array(

array(

'title' => 'Example',

'request' => 'blog',    //might be there is 'request' => '/blog', in the plugin file . 

'nav' => 'M', 

),

);

}

 

If the request parts starts with a / then remove those . It should work perfect for you . 

Hope this helps .
