Answer 1

Please follow the below steps:
1. You need to load 'url_helper' in autoload file and its a best practice instead of writing in every page. path(application > config > autoload.php)
$autoload['helper'] = array('url');
2. You need to add below line in top of the view page.
<base href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>">
