Find the templates set you are using, beside the name "News" click on the link named "[List (11)]". Find the template called "news_index.html" then press the link named "[Delete]". In the next screen, when you see this question "Are you sure that you want to delete this template data?" validate by pressing "Yes". The previous screen will reappears and you will see a yellow line, click on the link named "[Generate]" 5) If you are using the default template set. First create some test news then go on the part of your website where your users can see the news (for example http://www.example.com/modules/news). If you can see the test news, come back to the admin part of your site. Go in the news module's preferences and for the option named "News Display Layout" select "By topic". Come back to the visible part of your website (http://www.example.com/modules/news). If you can see your news, ignore the rest of this point, else, if you can't see the news then, in admin -> templates, beside the default template set, click on the link named "Clone", give it a name then go in admin -> preferences, select "General Settings" and in the scrolling list called "Default template set", select the template you have previously cloned. If you are doing a fresh install, you don't have to do anything from the previous list.
