Hi
Your site already has this style.
Open Magazine menu item > set it as root menu item and set it default.
Like this : http://prntscr.com/n3kmzm
save menu item and it will be set as your default homepage.

Okay, so now how do I start making the presentation look like the actual demo of the magazine version of the site? In addition, do I start removing the demo content and replace it with our content?

Kind Regards,

As a beginner with Joomla based websites and the content management system. I am requesting a walktrough in putting our news service website in service as soon as possible. I hope you'll understand where I am coming as there is no tutorial instructional video that came with the JA Simpli theme.

Kind Regards,

Ryan

Once I have the menu bar setup with the buttons, then I like to get the featured section setup.

Hi
You can open the Article manager and open Articles, replace the content with your content.
For modules you can find all the modules in Module manager the you can edit and change the content.
We have documentation for JA Simpli here : https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-templates/ja-simpli

So I did the step by step instructions within the documentation. However when I go to the theme customizer, I can't select the preset. Can you check to see if I did things correctly? You'll see my default set at Simpli - [Magazine style] - New.

Kind Regards,

Hi

You need to assign module to Vegas menu item.
For example i assigned some module for you. You can find the module in Joomla extension > modules.
Open module that you want to assign to Vegas Menu item.

I see that our header is no longer visible along with our company logo. What happened to it? Also can you check to see if I did our menu buttons correctly and find out what we did wrong that search button is not being displayed properly? Also those buttons will lead to their respected pages where our readers can find the articles that are associated with each organization.

In addition, I want to add the following widget to our page. How can I post it to our page and where?

Score Stream Widget Header (VDS Website):

Also I would like to add our Twitter feed on our website, how do I do that? Oh and our menu buttons are not showing up on the mobile version of the site. Can you look into this for me and see what the problem is?

Also the there is a standard editor, which editor is best suited for our needs as we are a news service provider?

To add, the sections in the picture below are not activated on the website, how do we turn those back on?

Please disregard to bottom portion of my last message, we are working through getting those links customized to our needs. The header is fine, we worked on that, the menu bar is good along with the search field. The second and third items we need some help on.

Kind regards,

Hi
Can you tell me current issue you are facing with screenshot and a description of issue,
its not clear which issue you have at the moment as site is fine, only issue is you have not added the content on site to make it like demo as in documentation.

The email subscribe section is not displaying how it is in the demo, can you look into this. Also where can we post the widget as mentioned in the earlier message? Also where can post our Twitter feed at on the site?

Ninja

vegasdesertsports
Hi
In demo the subscribe module is a custom html module, you are using Acymail module that is different and will use its own style.
You can find the module showing in demo on your site with name : [Landing page] Newsletter
In module manager.

For twitter feeds, JA Simpli does not have this module, you can use JA Twitter module (Need JAEC Membership) or find the module on Joomla extension directory and choose a module that fit to your needs.

Okay, now how about the widget code I included earlier in the message thread?
