joomla articles opening on home page news show pro sp2

This article helped me with using news show pro sp2 on joomla and article links opening with the same layout as that of the home page: http://www.joomshaper.com/blog/why-module-links-are-opening-inside-the-frontpage

Error displaying the error page: Could not find template "".: Could not find template "".

I encountered this error when I was working on a project and after searching and searching, I decided to check the database and realized that all I had exported from the database was the structure and not the structure and the data. That was what caused the error for me.
