Question

There are regular pages on the site such as:

foo.com/about
foo.com/contact

I use single controller for these.

There is also pages for admin, i have a seperate controller:
foo.com/admin/createsomething

This is my routing config and it is not picking HomeController Actions.

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Admin",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

How can i fix it?

You need routes for the urls that break the default convention:

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "About",
    url: "about",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "About" }
);

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Contact",
    url: "contact",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Contact" }
);

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

then your admin url should resolve with the default route, where you have an AdminController and a CreateSomething action method
