I'm a newbie to Joomla 3 and I have installed it on my PC using Wamp 2.5. I published an article, but the article is not showing on the website. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

  • How do you try to access the article? So what do you mean by "not showing on the website"? Commented Jan 2, 2016 at 11:51
  • @Mainz007: I try to access the article by going to my website. For publishing the article I go to Content--->Article Manager--->Add New Article. I publish the article but it's not visible on the website. Commented Jan 2, 2016 at 12:21

Articles in Joomla are usually displayed through Menu Items. Creating and publishing an article is only the first step, you also have to create a menu item:

How to add a menu item in Joomla

These are some of the most popular menu types:

Articles → Featured Articles

This will show all your featured articles (marked with a star in the article list).

Articles → Single article

This will let you choose a single article which will be displayed on your website for the menu item.

Articles → Category blog

This will display all articles from a chosen category. If the articles has a Readmore tag (inserted using the Read more button below the article editor), only the first part of each article will be displayed, followed by a link to the full article. This is the simplest way to create a blog in Joomla.
