# How to display modules on your Joomla 2.5 homepage

Joomla 2.5 has reached its end of life as for 12/31/2014. Please be advised this may be a security risk to your website. You can view more information about the end of life [here](https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla!_CMS_versions).

In a previous article, we showed you how to [move a Joomla 2.5 module to a different position](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-2-5/how-to-move-module-position/). As we continue working with extensions in Joomla 2.5, the next thing we’ll do is show you how to get modules to show up on your homepage.

**To show a Joomla 2.5 module on your homepage:**

1. [Log into your Joomla dashboard](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/how-to-log-in-to-administrative-dashboard/)
2. In the top menu, hover over **Extensions** and click **Module Manager**
3. Use the filter feature to find the module you would like to show on your homepage and then click the module’s name [![find_your_module_to_show_on_the_homepage_and_click_it](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/edu_joomla25_module-on-homepage_find_your_module_to_show_on_the_homepage_and_click_it.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/edu_joomla25_module-on-homepage_find_your_module_to_show_on_the_homepage_and_click_it.gif)
4. Next to **position**, [choose which position](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-2-5/how-to-view-module-positions/) on the homepage to show this module on
5. Under **Menu Assignment**, ensure **Module Assignment** is set to **Only on the pages selected**. Then click the **Main Menu** Tab and then select **Home** [![select_the_home_page_home_menu_item_under_menu_assignment](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/edu_joomla25_module-on-homepage_select_the_home_page_home_menu_item_under_menu_assignment.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/edu_joomla25_module-on-homepage_select_the_home_page_home_menu_item_under_menu_assignment.gif) Please note that this is the most important step of displaying a module on your homepage!
