Article not showing on frontpage and not in db

Post by vmwebsites » Sat Jul 30, 2016 9:56 am

Hi guys,

I've got a strange problem with my site (Joomla 3.6.0, mysql 5.6.31, php 5.6.18)

When I create a new featured article it will not show up on my frontpage.
Homepage is set to "Article-featured" and has always be working fine.

The article does show up in the module "Latest articles" which is on the frontpage.

When I checked my db in phpadmin, the latest article is not showing in my db, but it is showing in content-featured....

I've attached several images to make it more clear.

Suggestions anyone??

There are known bugs in 3.6.0.

You can manually reorder featured from the bottom to the top.

Module has a bug and can not display articles in featured ordering.
For temporary you can change order by publish date.

In J3.6.1 the module will work again.

Thanks @csthomas,
but the module is working fine, the featured articles are not showing on the frontpage.

You can have a look here (it is in Dutch)
http://www.texel94.nl
The module is at the right bottom and showing different articles from the homepage

The module is called "club nieuws" and it is showing articles from all cats.
The first 2 articles in the module are both set to be featured, but don't show on the home page.....

Okay I found it, I have to go to Content - Featured articles, change view to "Ordering Ascending", locate my articles and drag them manually to the top......

THANK YOU vmwebsites! That worked.

And while it's a great temporary fix...what prompted the programmers to completely change the joomla system, so the most recent article would not be published on a person's front page? That's like slashing your wrists in terms of SEO. And who knew? I didn't find out for over a week that my articles were being posted on the 12th page of my site...wth?

Anyone know when that bug will be fixed?

And again - thank you vmwebsites...you're the only one who came up with a great fix, after I searched the web for 2 days!
