I'm trying out the Spotlight News Module in the Ameritage Medical Template.
When I click the Read More button in the first article displayed, it just reloads the homepage.
Same with the Titles for the subsequent articles.
I've set up an unpublished "Category-Blog" Menu item which points to the "Latest" category and the Spotlight News is pulling from "latest" category......just can't get off the Homepage whenever I try to link to the complete articles.   Probably something obvious, but it's got me stumped.

Hello,

That's a default function of Joomla. Whenever a read more is clicked it always takes on the parent page's modules and layout. You need to create a menu item that points to that article's category or single article, and on that new menu item don't publish any modules. That is how Joomla has set it up since 1.6.
