DjangoCMS with Aldryn Newsblog urls clash - issue adding new non-blog pages

I am using Aldryn Newsblog and Aldryn FAQ in my DjangoCMS project. When trying to add a new page that is not a blog page, but just a normal CMS page, I get the following error: problem adding new page to Django CMS

Seems like Aldryn Newsblog rewrites the urls and sets itself as the default root.

Here's my urls.py file:

from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function, unicode_literals

from cms.sitemaps import CMSSitemap
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import *  # NOQA
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),  # NOQA
    url(r'^sitemap\.xml$', 'django.contrib.sitemaps.views.sitemap',
        {'sitemaps': {'cmspages': CMSSitemap}}),
    url(r'^select2/', include('django_select2.urls')),
    url(r'^', include('cms.urls')),
)

# This is only needed when using runserver.
if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns = patterns('',
        url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',  # NOQA
            {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
        ) + staticfiles_urlpatterns() + urlpatterns  # NOQA

How to I tweak it to account for Aldryn Newsblog?

Solution

  • I solved this by going to my Blog page -> Advanced Settings -> Application -> deselect "NewsBlog", select "------" (none).

    I was then able to create a new page "Home", turned Application -> NewsBlog back on for my blog page and all works fine.
