News Post and News Link Missing on "New" Menu
On our intranet's home page, when clicking on the "New" menu item, there is only "Page"and "copy of this page". There should also be options to create a new news post or news link (among others). ...
- How did you create the site? This same thing happened to me when I used ShareGate to copy a site. There was a bug in ShareGate that failed to indicate that the site was a "home page." The bug was subsequently fixed but we found a work-around for the impacted sites. Here's how we fixed the issue: We temporarily made a different page the home page (from Site Pages, using Make home page). Then we re-set the original home page as the home page and all the options returned. Hope that helps!

Hi Susan_Hanley,
Yes, the site was originally migrated (two years ago) using ShareGate. I can't remember if this page was the original home.aspx or if I created a new one. What's strange is that when we first switched to this page, the menu items were there but then they disappeared at some point. I used PnP PowerShell to quickly switch it to a new home page and back... and they're back! (I did try just using PnP-SetHomepage to reset it, but it didn't help. For some reason it had to be switched to another page and back.)Set-PnPHomePage -RootFolderRelativeUrl sitepages/TempPage.aspx
Get-PnPHomePage
Set-PnPHomePage -RootFolderRelativeUrl SitePages/Home.aspx
Get-PnPHomePageThanks for your suggestion!
