Create Communications Sites option is gone?
I used to see "Create Communication Site" when clicking the plus sign on OneDrive. It was a page that said create a Team Site or Communication site.
It now just says "Get a team site with Office 365 Groups" and there is no template options.
I don't see anywhere else in the UI to create a Communications Site. It also does not appear, that I have found, in the Admin Center.
Apologies if this post is in the wrong channel (Maybe it should be in O365 Groups or OneDrive *sigh*)??

Click the plus sign on the SharePoint page: then you can choose between Team Site and Communication Site.
Hope it helps...
- I don't have that turned on. I am assuming this the "Create Site" link that is controlled in SharePoint Admin Center under "Site Creation".
Is this the only way to create a Communications site?AFAIK, yes (at least in the UI).
You can also do it with REST or PnP.
See for example:
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/apis/communication-site-creation-rest
- https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/blob/master/Documentation/New-PnPSite.md
It seems the option has been removed from ODFB and you can only create Modern SPO Sites from ODFB. Adding here Stephen Rose StephenRice
