Have you included your url patterns before Mezzanine's catch-all in the
root conf?

Solved that, and have been constantly 404'ing since. Saw another of your
posts Eduardo about i18n and middleware causing 404's on pages that don't
exist, but have disabled i18n and am still running into issue. It's almost
like the urls.py is not updating.

Here is the root url pattern I am using:
url("^news/", include("kdi.urls")),

And the urls.py for kdi:
url(r"^$", "kdi.views.newstest", name="newstest"),

And the `newstest` view:
def newstest(request, slug):
    print "called!"
    return HttpResponse('Test')


Expected behavior should be that navigation to domain/news will send the
request to `kdi.urls`, where it will accept any string (^$) and call the
`newstest` view to return the super simple response of "test". 404's every
time.
