I have linked my joomla menu item to the article by selecting the article in the menu item.
IT does not pull up the article.
I can create a html module and add content to the page.
i have feeling it could be the template
Make sure the article, menu module, and menu item are all published.

I have my joomla 3 homepage that is actually blog page. And it also has some modules assigned to it. When I click to open particular blog item (clicking read more button) I am redirected to that blog item page that also has those modules assigned and actually completely same look as home page.
What I want is to keep modules on my home blog page, and remove it from blog item page. I want my blog item page to have only that blog item content nad nothing more. Any suggestion?
You need some configuration for each module, go to your modules, inside you can see a tab called Menu Assignment, from here select for example show only on homepage.
Regards.
maybe it an easy solution for someone..I would like how can I set up an item in menu (positioned on right side of template), that when I click it, it opens/shows a module (news blog) under that menu(item) (in the same right position). Similar to click accordion just that menu item is in a menu module and a news blog is another module.
thank you.
In Joomla you can assign modules to specific menu items. THat means the module will appear when you click that item. You can assign a module to one page, all pages, specific pages you click or "all except" a list you select. Other than that I'm not sure what the question is, but I will say it's not a programming question.
In joomla module can also show in article,
You can create a article and link those article to specific menu.
And those article called a module like {loadmodule module_name}.
Also with module position like this {loadposition position_name}.
I have just installed Joomla version 2.5.9 and also the Kunema forum component version 2.0.4. I haven't installed any other components/modules/plugins.
I created a new top menu item called "Forum Sports" as a "Menu Alias Item" and pointed it to the Kunema Menu's "Forum" item (please see image below).
However, in the site when I click in the "Forum Sports" top menu item, it doesn't get active If I point this menu item to any other menu/article/page, the menu item gets active (please see images below).
How can I make the top menu item "Forum Sports" active when pointing to the Kunema Menu's Forum item?
The reason is Joomla assigns two different classes to menu items. If you're on the menu item page it will assign an .active and .current css class. Most templates (including Joomla's) menu items then base their styling on the .current class. To make the menu appear active just add in some extra css for the .current class into your templates css file :)

Let's say I got "News" category with some articles inside and modules, let's call them "module1", "module2" and up to 10.
Normally, if I got menu item called "News" with category view under it (it's called blog or something in Joomla) and I set only "module1" to be displayed there, all the items from this category will be displayed with the same layout.
However, if I add ie. "module2", which is a newsflash, to my homepage, items from "News" category will be displayed with homepage layout, with all the modules shown. I'd like them to be displayed as if they were on "News" page. How to do that?
Answer: add articles to "hidden" menu is not acceptable. Imagine blog, where you have to add all your posts to any kind of menu.
Visual explanation:
Normally, a menu position which lists articles form category and has only two modules (call them module1 and module2) enabled, will look like this: http://imm.io/FGrJ
If you click any item, you will be redirected to a page with the same layout (notice: I don't have to add all articles to menu, just article listing page): http://imm.io/FGrP
However, if I add newsflash module on my homepage, which is full of modules, clicking an item will display article on homepage, in area that I called main content. Which is bad. I'd like it to open just like article from articles listing. Here is screen: http://imm.io/FGsR
This article on the Joomla docs gives a good idea of what your tying to do as I understand it. As you don't wish to have menu items as you state in the question I think the best way is what they label as number 3 at the bottom - installing an extension that provides detailed control over where a module displays. Their featured module is Advanced Module Manager - which comes from NoNumber - something a lot of sites use and has a proven track record. However there is an entire section of modules on Joomla Extension Directory here
Is that possible to make a single article as homepage, but not connected with any menu item?
I'm using Joomla 1.7
No that is NOT technically possible - Joomla is menu driven.
But you could create a Menu Item (of type Article -> Single Article View) set it to be the default item (so it is your home page) and set the main menu module to not be shown on that page (if that is what you are trying to achieve).
The other option - is to create a new menu - for example called 'hidden'. Add your new menu item to this menu, and don't even have a module for this menu.
One or other of these options should do what you need.
In the article list, there is a flag that can be activated that says "Home Page".
That makes the article to be shown in the content area of your home page... just that.
