Hi guys. I'm having a problem regarding the news module block. Recently, I upgraded my news 1.44 to news 1.56. All went well. I later noticed that my recent news block showed only 10 news (I guess it's the default). I changed the settings to show 15 but after changing the recent news block would disappear. It would only reappear when I update the news module. But after updating the news module, the recent news block would again show only 10 news (the default). Then another thing that I discovered was that whenever I make new blocks, it does not show up. Can somebody pls pls help me. Thanks.

With the news block, I think you need to edit the block settings again, and highlight the categories that you want the block to show news from (try selecting all of them to start). If you have no categories selected it the block will not appear because it has no content.

I don't know about your second block problem sorry. But maybe you need to assign group permissions to your new blocks to let people see them? By default, new blocks are only visible to webmaster and registered user groups (not anonymous users).

Thanks for the help!
