— several replies point you in the right direction (, , , ). If a banner is configured but not visible on the site, the cause is usually one of a few common issues. The list below focuses on checks and quick tests that were not covered in the earlier replies.

  • Published state, dates and impression limits: verify the banner and its client are active and that any start/end dates or impression limits haven’t been reached. Some banner systems silently stop serving a banner when limits expire.
  • File path and permissions: confirm the banner image URL is valid and the file is readable by the webserver (typical file mode 0644). A broken URL or wrong permissions yields no visible image.
  • Access level and language: check the module/banner access level and the site language settings on multilingual sites — mismatches prevent anonymous users from seeing content.
  • Template position and overrides: some templates rename or remove positions, or include overrides that suppress module output. Enable module-position preview by appending ?tp=1 to the front page URL to verify the named position exists.
  • CSS/JS or template chrome hiding the output: use the browser DevTools (F12) to look for the module HTML. If the markup is present but invisible, a CSS rule (display:none, z-index, overflow) is likely at fault.
  • Caching/CDN: clear Joomla caches, server caches and any CDN edge cache while testing.

Quick test: publish a simple Custom HTML module containing an inline image tag (for example, `

`) into the same position and menu assignment. If that appears, the template position is fine and the issue is with the banner component or its settings; if it does not, the template or position is the culprit.

If problems persist, note the Joomla version and template name and whether the module HTML appears in the page source. That information will narrow the cause (configuration vs template vs file/permission problem).

Hi, Joomla come with its own banner extension, click on the components menu and choose banner, the trick is that you first have to create a category.
One you have done so, you can go ahead an create as many banners as you want.

That's all.

Sorry, and then go to Extensions->module manager->new, select banner and click the next button, now you just have to choose a banner's category and the client, and of course dont forget to specify the position (left by default )you want your module to show up in. if you only want it to show up in the frontpage, make sure you deselect the other menu items.
