As you can see that I have set the Media and Public folders to static/img and /img respectively for both root and collections level.
But when I upload a file from the admin blog editor, it still updates images to
/root/src/pages/blog/static/img rather than the /root/static/img folder.

Answer 1

You should remove those lines under the Blog collection :
media_folder: static/img
public_folder: /img
