News Module Not Visible

[Bill Bickley]

I'm trying to add the news module, but can't seem to make it visible.

Symptoms:

The news module does NOT appear under module options on the Default Settings page.

On the Edit Module page for the news module, the active setting is yes.

I do see the news module set up to appear in the center column.

I don't see the portion of the edit module page where I should be selecting the threads.

What does that all add up to? I'm stumped.

See my comments by item:

Under the 'PHP File Module Options' section, make sure that you have these values for the following settings:
File to Include: news.php OK
Module Parent: None OK
Clean File Output: No OK
Make sure that you have selected some specific threads or forums using the 'News Threads' and/or 'News Forums' setting for the news module. If selecting specific forums, make sure that those forums contain threads that are visible to the public and not awaiting moderation. I don't see the section where this is to be done. I know what it looks like. It's just not there.Make sure that the 'Maximum Number of Threads to Display' setting is set to a value higher than 0. (a value of 0 will disable the module) I don't see the section where this is to be done. I know what it looks like. It's just not there.
Make sure that the threads that should be displayed are not older than the 'Cut-Off Date' setting. If they are, adjust the setting to a higher number so that they can be included. No threads selected. See above.
If your members do not have permission to view the forum(s) that your news threads are posted in, you may need to either adjust your forum permissions to allow these groups to view threads in those forums, or change the 'Apply Forum Permissions' setting for the news module to 'No'.
If all of the above settings look correct, click on the 'Edit Pages' link under the vBa CMPS menu in your Admin CP. Click on the title of the page that you are trying to enable the news module on and make sure that the it is listed in the 'Modules Enabled' section. This all looks fine.

Sounds like you've removed the module at some point and tried to add it back manually then. Delete your current news module, then see the link below for instructions on how to re-upload it.
