I am unable to add and delete anything on Open Journal System. Actually, we hosted multiple journals in a single OJS install. Currently, Disable_path_info is On.
When I disable_path_info = On, I am unable to add anything on the site. It is saying "The requested URL was not recognized."
When I disable_path_info = Off, then the CSS is not taken in the https://journals.jgu.edu.in in this index page but the CSS is working on the specific journal page (https://journals.jgu.edu.in/index.php?journal=jjia).
Here I am sharing the config.inc.php file setting

; Use fopen(...) for URL-based reads. Modern versions of dspace

; To override URLs that aren't part of a particular journal, use a
