Okay...I know this has to be the most simplest thing. But I can not get the articles to appear in 2 columns in the homepage.

For the menu item, I'm using Articles » Featured Articles.

I have the 2 categories highlighted under layout options...and then I have the following:

Leading Articles - 0
Intro Articles - 3
Columns - 2
Links - 0

And yet, I'm still getting this: www.ppcincorp.com/

Try changing leading articles to 3 and intro articles to 0. See if it changes anything.

Hi Heart0,

I know you probably tried this already, but did you try clearing all cache first? :-)
Warm Regards,

Tessa Mero

Hi Anita,

It's likely that your template doesn't have that functionality. Try switching to a different template on the home page and then give it a try. You can switch back immediately after you try it. If switching templates for less than a minute is a concern, please test this on a test site instead.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick

Hey Nick - it does have that functionality. I was using K2 and had the homepage in 2 columns. But I had to re-create the articles in the article manager...because the items quit appearing in the k2 section. So, then I had to re-create the menu. And when I did that... 2 columns was no longer working....

Hi Anita,

K2's two columns is different than the default Joomla's two columns. Would you confirm what your home page's menu item type is set to?

Kind regards,
Nick

I went ahead and just used a plugin to do a cool 3 column layout...

Next website I'll try again. And if I'm having problems...you know I'll be "callin". LOL.
