We are recreating our site from scratch (unfortunately) on a new server, and are encountering an odd problem. Left and right assigned modules appear where they should EXCEPT on the frontpage, where they are positioned inside main, beneath the blog articles. To see what might happen, we temporarily tried ja_purity (not ii), and everything was positioned correctly. On a hunch, we returned to the same version of ja_purity_ii as our original install, v 1.2.0, but that did not matter.

A similar problem was reported earlier in these forums, but no explanation was offered. http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/why-are-left-and-right-columns-appearing-at-the-bottom-of-the-frontpage/

Can you provide the url of the site you’re working on – so we can view the issue you are describing?

Thanks, Tom. I tried a second Joomla install – this time using a ja_purity_ii quickstart, rather than via the cPanel. Everything was fine, until (blam!) I added a “read more” in a Frontpage article, using JCE (2.1.0). Took out the “read-more,” and everything fine again. Taking out the “read-more” also fixed the original cPanel install. Funny thing – when I added the “read more” back in the quickstart install, everything was fine – so I’m now a happy camper, and we will proceed there to rebuild our website..

But I can’t fix the cPanel install – not using JCE. While that site is still up, you can see the problem: http://216.120.238.24/~northcoa/

Another description of this problem can be found here: Read More button creates template corruption
