CI is adding URL parts to links

This is most likely due to how you're creating the links. They are being created without a '/' at the beginning, so the URL is being added onto the current URL as a relative location. If all of the links started with a '/' they would all start at the site root and you wouldn't experience that.

An even better method, though, is to use the URL helper's `site_url()` method with the page link inside of that, like:

Code:

<a href="<?php echo site_url($page.'/'.$item['link']) ?>" target="_self"><?php echo $item['text'] ?></a>

That way if the settings ever change, or if it has to be moved to a subdomain, or if the config gets accidentally tweaked and you suddenly have 'index.php' in the URL again, your links will still work.
