Article Publishing Issues

vegasdesertsports

I am having an issue publishing a test article for our website. I have a test article published with the assigning category of Golden Knights as well have the featured option selected. However it is not showing up on the frontpage nor the Golden Knights menu item section of our site. Also the test article is not displaying like what its supposed to be like in the demo. The only category that will allow it to show up on the website is Magazine and that is not what I want .

Can you please let me know why I am having this problem?

Kind Regards,

Hi
Kindly add the category in menu, At the moment you added a wrong category : http://prntscr.com/n6ov8j for Golder menu that has no articles.

How does it appear on the home page as a feature?

Hi
I do not understand what you mean by feature ?
On homepage if you want to show articles you can set a correct category in menu that has articles.
I feel you are not aware about Joomla basics I suggest you to learn Joomla working here . The default Joomla menu items works same for all templates.

The first three featured articles are supposed to displayed in a grid format of three. Its not displaying my three dummy posts in that configuration. According to the template it comes with that feature.

Demo home page vs. Our home page.

I tried a few different things to try and get them to pop in the right module position but something is not working.

Update 4/3/2019: Changes we made in the layout configuration section within the template editor. See picture below.

I think I found the found the problem to why the gird in Position:topsl-1 is not displaying on the homepage of our site where the three dummy posts are supposed to go. See below.

Hi
KIndly follow this documentation if you want to setup homepage like in demo.
https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-templates/ja-simpli
You are not using the same menu item so its different, follow it carefully , There is nothing more to suggest because everything is in doc and you are not following the suggestion or documentation.
You can compare the menu type and see the difference of Magazine menu.

A module will display in Joomla if its published on a module position and assigned correctly on a menu item.

Can you please help us? This template was not installed by us it was installed by Cloud Access using the quick-start package. We have put so much work and time into what we have accomplished up to this point. Can you understand?

Hi
Installation does not any issue, If you can provide me problem i am able to help, Like i shared in last post, you need to set the menu items and module as given in documentation, If there is any issue we can help,
See all articles unpublished for home menu http://prntscr.com/n78ecp
About the module its not published http://prntscr.com/n78eq4

If you want to build your site with your own data from not from yourself, i suggest you to hire a developer or person who can do this for you, support is limited to bug fixes and make the site like demo,

I suggest you to learn Joomla basics too because if you are not aware how to add a menu or module it will be very tough for you do display anything.

Can you check to see if there is still an issue with our website? The grid is displayed on the page but the articles are not showing up there. Also I mentioned to the sales person with JoomlArt that the documentation needs to be updated. It does not reflect 2019 when the theme was updated. The theme was updated Jan 15, 2019.

Hi
I need the issue details from you to check, because you are using own content and its different,
Without details i can not check where you have the problems.

About the documentation there are few things need to be updated in template side, still the current documentation will work,, Its not like everything will be changed in doc.

Also for each new subject kindly open a new thread , it also helps other community members to find similar topics.

This is what the html code reads in top-s1 (Grid Module).

Hi
You configured the module wrong, i just make it like in documentatio and its working : http://prntscr.com/n8bvpa

Thank you.

1.) Also is it now safe for us to unpublish the demo content and start adding our own without any further issues for our website?

2.) Where is the instructions that enable our writing team to start publishing our own content as that was not provided in the documentation with the theme that we are using?

3.) The site uses Magazine as its default category, can we change category with a new name? In addition, it is possible to add additional categories to our articles?

1. You can unpublish any time, make sure new content should be similar in configurations to get it like demo
2. Go to Content > Articles > Add new Article ( Its Joomla feature to add contents, you can follow the guide i sent to learn about Joomla.
3. You can change the category name, and also add own categories. And create more menu items as per needs.

Since this topic is already answered, i am closing this thread In future if you have any issue, kindly open a new thread for each new topic.
