Thank you Ciaran. I was not using an article in the component position of the home page, just modules, so I inserted an article and put all the modules into the article {loadposition } except the news module. Now it works fine.

Thanks for your very swift response!

Hi Peter

Assuming I understand you correctly, this is how Joomla handles module assignments. For Joomla to be able to assign/unassign a module on any particular page it requires that the page have a menu item related to it. If no menu item exists the module assignment of the parent page is used. As I see it your solution would be one of the following..

1. Create a hidden menu. A quick Google search should give you plenty of information on this.
2. Use an extension that gives more elaborate module assignment possibilities. By far the most popular is... https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/advanced-module-manager/
