I am trying to get my site to display 6-8 articles on the main page, in one column all the way across, for some reason it will not do this at all. it keeps showing the first one all the way across and all after that in 3 columns.

I have set the options for featured articles to 10 leading arcticle. but it still will not do it, not sure what I am doing wrong now


It would appear as though my page will not get longer.

Sorry. I'm using v1.7 which doesn't have a 'Front Page Manager'.

This was an error in the documentation which I have now changed. Any reference to "Front Page Manager" that you see actually refers to "Featured Articles" in later editions after 1.5.

Code:
http://example.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured
this shows the additional elements to add after your standard URL in the browser replace example.com with your own domain name.

The point here is that although I've set up the Options on 'Article manager - Featured Articles' as:
#Leading Articles 1
#Intro Articles 4
#Columns 1
#Links 4
I still get 3 columns under the one leading article. I've even tried changing the number of Leading Articles to 6 but it makes no difference.

OK, solved it! I had to edit the 'Home' item in the main menu, and set the number of columns there.
