Why can't I see a published content in my homepage and it's placed in there?
In first place we would recommend you to check if the article has been placed in the frontpage manager of the homepage or of any section frontpage. If you want to check how to do that please check out our help article and video at How to create and article and publish it in the frontpage
Please also check if you have set date of starting and ending of publication in the article creation form.
- If the publishing starting date is in the future, the content will appear marked by a blue line on the right side. This means that the article is scheduled to be published on the established date and it is still not visible.
- If the ending date is in the past, the article will show a red line on the right side and it will mean that it is out of publication time and so it is not visible.
- If the content has an established starting date in the past or present and an ending date in the future, it should show a green line on the right side. This means that the article has been published and it is visible in the newspaper web site.
