Can't see modern pages on root site

[Brian Critchlow]

I am basking in all the glory that is modern pages, both in team sites and communication sites. I am, however, missing modern pages in my root site.

How the heck can I get these enabled? I just want to create a modern homepage.

Have you tried Site Settings > Site Features > activating Site Pages?

I have. it only allows me to create old style pages, not modern.

You might need to create a Site Page library rather than a pages library on your root site and add a new site page from there?
