Are you trying to assign the menu module to another page ? not only the homepage.... – Shaz Apr 01 '12 at 01:57

Need more info. Did you create a new menu item and the menu doesn't show up on that page? What template are you using? Is it custom or did you buy it from a template provider? – Brent Friar Apr 01 '12 at 05:44

According to your scenario, you want to assign a menu (module) to another page(s) on your site.

Your new template might be with different module position names from the old one. Every menu item creates a module so maybe you need to change the main menu module Position option to match the position of the new template. A quick view of the template positions can be done with adding ?tp=1
to the end of your site URL, like this - http://example.com/?tp=1 . Hope this helps you or someone else.

. All you need to do is go to the 'module manager'---->select 'main menu'---->'position' (drop down menu in the right side).
Now open the drop down menu. Select the "main menu" position. Make sure you select the main menu position of your current template.(there are many 'main menu' positions under different templates.)
