Remove highlighted rectangles on news posts because it had been set to home page

One of the features of setting a home page is that news posts get a highlighted rectangle with the home page name; I guess to signify that it's special. I don't want them anymore.

Things I've tried:

- Removing the home page

- Setting the home page to something else

- Removing and putting back the news web part

I am back to the exact settings where these rectangles didn't exist before but now, they won't go away.

Thanks

  • Will_Hoch The colored rectangular block on news will appear when news is coming from one of the organization news sites.

     

    If you set a communication site as the home site for your organization, it's automatically configured as an organization news site.

    I don't think you will be able to remove it from news web part settings. So, you may need to remove a site from the list of organization news sites using PowerShell: Remove-SPOOrgNewsSite
