I was able to fix it by uninstalling the module and reinstalling them. However, I now still have these two problems:
The ‘news’ page seems to have a ‘broken’ <div> statement with the result that some of the modules are not displayed.
The ‘news’page, also insists on showing news items although I have set the ‘home’ style to not to display the main content. I have also set article numbers to display in the menu option for that page to 0,0,0,0 with no sub categories, resulting in the following error message: There are no articles in this category. If subcategories display on this page, they may contain articles.
