使用codeigniter中的route函数重定向url

Question

I have local site and in that site I have integrated wordpress + codeigniter.

Now I have a blog and custom query to fetch posts from wordpress database using wordpress wp_query function, everything is working pagination is also working but I'm having a small issue that if I type my blog address without a trailing / than the pagination doesn't work properly

1) When I use:

  siteaddress/blog/

it works just fine and pagination also work like:

  siteaddress/blog/page/1
  siteaddress/blog/page/2

I can move forward and backward properly

Only problem came when I open url

 siteaddress/blog

than the pagination url becomes

siteaddress/blogpage/1
siteaddress/blogpage/2

It means missing 1 trailing / between blog and page so can I solve this issue using codeigntiers route? I already tried:

$route['blog'] = "blog/page/$1";

and

$route['blog'] = "blog/";

these both methods couldn't solve my problem.

Any help will be appreciated.

live version for my site is:

aws.chemfreecom.com/blog  or aws.chemfreecom.com/blog/

You can use that in root .htaccess :

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^blog$ blog/ [R=301,NC,L]
