I am a Joomla noob. I installed Joomla 5.1 on a hosting provider, and am working with tutorials and the default Cassiopeia template. I can make categories, articles, menus, and menu items. I cannot get the menus to display properly.
I want a menu display just like the one used on this forum's hompepage: with Home Services Reports Contacts Help About, etc., in one line across the top. When the user clicks on a menu, s/he sees the menu items associated with that menu.
That's what I want, but what I get is a list of menu items on the same line as Home. No matter how I manipulate the modules associated with my menus, I cannot get them to display properly.
The official documentation for Joomla is based on 3.1, and so is hopelessly out of date. I did find some Joomla 5 videos; the one on menus has no explanation of menu modules except vague language to the effect that modules interact with templates. Since Cassiopeia is the default template, the video tutorials should focus on that. Tutorials are for beginners, not for people who already know everything.
Can anyone point me to a definitive, thorough explanation of how menu modules work in Joomla 5.1? Or show me what I'm doing wrong?
