Thanks for letting us know! Getting on this now. You should be able to turn comments off on a page that is set as the home page. Working on this!

Hi Alyssa,

 

Has this yet been resolved. I am still not able to turn comments off my home page.

 

To achieve this, I have to:

  1. Ensure page is not set to Homepage,
  2. Edit page and turn off comments,
  3. Publish page, and
  4. Set page as homepage.

I also lose 'Site Settings', etc. in the Settings Cog when on a modern page. This is also frustrating!

 

Thanks,

Michael.

    Hi Michael,

     

    Site Settings is still there, but now you need to select "Site Information" under the cog, and then the pop out properties panel, which shows you the title and description of the site, has a link to "View all site settings" which takes you to the traditional site settings page.

      G'day Damian,

       

      Thanks for the response - annoying that it's now another click away, but appreciate you pointing out it's new home. :)

       

      Cheers,
      Michael.
