Unable to edit hub site home page

For the last week or so I have had a lot of trouble being able to edit the home page of my hub site in SharePoint Online. The Edit button is there, but nothing happens when I click it. I also noticed...

Hello David_Douglas 

 

sounds strange....can you create a new, blank, page and set this as home page?

 

Work's this fine?

 

I recommend you to use this new home page, i know, you have work to rebuild, but sometimes it's the better way and less troubles in the future with this page.

 

Best, Dave

Hello, DaveMehr365 - thank you for the reply.

 

I'm really hoping I don't have to attempt that. Without being able to edit and see how the page was originally set up, I'm not even sure I would be able to. A considerable amount of the home page uses software called ShortPoint to create the web parts, and it was mostly created by our vendor when we migrated to SharePoint in 2020-21. I am able to use ShortPoint, but it might be difficult to go back and re-create what they did.

 

I do have a Zoom call with ShortPoint scheduled soon, and we will try to figure out the issue. I really think the problem is on Microsoft's end, though.
