Home site on SP + New butt drop down is missing the ability to add list, document library, page, etc
lukevang Only the homepage +New button allows you to create other content libraries (lists, doc libs, apps) within your site. When viewing a given "page" or "news post" your contextual to the content you're currently viewing and therefore you're only able to create a New page (using the templates gallery) or start with a copy of this page/news post.
This is similar to document libraries, where the +New button allows you to create folders or documents, but not lists or pages.
It's (trying) to be contextually relevant to the area of SharePoint you're in.
Sounds like it's confusing you however. Love your feedback on how we could make that more clear. I think it would be equally confusing if all options were available everywhere, but love to hear from you.

I have found the resolution to your problem. It looks like it that the problem is the result of groupifying a classic SharePoint-site, while the standard SharePoint-groups was fiddled with by an uneducated sitemaster. (Always check this first before the groupify).
Check if the standard SHAREPOINT groups are still intact via _layouts/15/permsetup.aspx. If not, repair. Next: remove the Microsoft/Office 365-group from the Member SHAREPOINT-group via advanced permission settings. Add the Microsoft 365-group again, by using their e-mailadres [prefix-name@onmicrosoft.com]. This fixed it for me.
In groups, not site permissions, check if the Microsoft 365-group floats there, beside the SharePoint-groups. If so, remove it. You can still access groups when you open a group with site permissions, and then via left menu. Or go to /_layouts/15/groups.aspx
Assign another page as home page, then re-assign the startpage as home page.
