Why does "my blog" menu link disappear when I use a view with the path blog/%?

Question

When I create a view with the path blog/%, the menu link "My blog" disappear from the main menu but still exists in the database. The view works exactly as expected when I go to /blogs and click the nav link at the bottom of the article.

Already tried without success (logged in as administrator)

1) Change view access to:

• none
• permission: view published content
• permission: blog entry:
• create new content role: authenticated users

2) Add/Remove the view filter: status published

3) Create a new menu link using Menu Token module but this link disappears too (but still exists in the db).

4) Enable/disable Menu Token and Menu item visibility modules, just to check if there is a conflict somewhere but it doesn't change anything.

Versions:

• Drupal 7.31
• Blog 7.31
• Views 7.x-3.8.
• Menu Token 7.x-1.0-beta5
• Menu item visibility 7.x-1.0-beta1

Answer 1

The path that the blog module uses is blog/%user .

If you go to blog/1 you will see all posts made by the user with uid equals 1.

So, when you create a views:view that defines the path blog/%, it overrides the default path previously defined by blog and uses the views path.
