Troubleshooting tips

• You will need to have news centre article cards set up on the homepage for this. 
  Don't have this set up? See the news centre article management video.
• Your homepage displays a set amount of news centre articles. Newer articles will replace older ones, so be selective about what you display.
• Your article must have an image to display on the homepage.

Remove it from your homepage

When / if you no longer want your article featuring your newsletter link to display on your homepage, simply uncheck the 'Publish to Homepage' option.
