In case you don’t see the module displaying in front-page, you need to check:
- Is the module published ?
- Is the module assigned to a visible module position ?
- Is the module assigned to a menu ?
Please make sure that the module is published.
There can be many module positions listed for you to select, but make sure that the module position you select is visible in front-page.
When you want to display a module on specific menus, you need to assign it to the menus.
