SharePoint Online .WSP file to use at "root" site level
I created a template from an existing site in our SharePoint Online and saved in our Solutions Gallery under that site collection which is what is expected. How can I use that same template I have just created but not as a subsite (when using New -> Subsite) of that site collection it was created from and use that same template in our "root" /sites locations? For example, we have built a nice SP site under oursite.sharepoint.com/sites/projectoffice and saved it as "projectofficetemplate".wsp. Its now under the oursite.sharepoint.com/sites/projectoffice Solutions Gallery as expected. We can now use this template under the projectoffice site collection as a subsite and it is now available for us to choose. Can I download this "projectofficetemplate".wsp file and "upload it" to the /sites location so that when I say Create new site, it would be available there? For example, I want to create another site collection called "oursite.sharepoint.com/sites/AnotherDept" but I want to use the template or "projectofficetemplate".wsp file created FROM oursite.sharepoint.com/sites/projectoffice to create the new "AnotherDept" site collection? I uploaded it to the root site and activated it but when I go and select create new and selected the solutions gallery, I uploaded and activated but yet, it does not let me choose that nor have that option and the site is just a plain team site, not using the .WSP file I just uploaded and activated. it just shows it as "select template later" in classic view... so I selected it but the template I want to use is not working or taking effect. How can I do that or is that possible? Thank you!
Site Collection error “We're still working on it and it might take 24 hours.”
Hi All, We are using SharePoint Online (Office 365). Yesterday afternoon I deleted the root site collection (https://OurCompany.Sharepoint.com) and recreated it using the publishing portal template. A day later it still has not finished creating the site collection. It has a message saying: “We're still working on it and it might take 24 hours.” This is the first time this has happened to me. It normally takes a few minutes and not a day to create a site collection. Please view the attached image to view the screenshot. I hope you can help ColinHow to remove /Pages/default.aspx from the url home page
Hi All, We have a SharePoint site collection that when you go to the home page /Pages/default.aspx shows at the end of the url. I have seen similar SharePoint sites where the /Pages/default.aspx doesn't show up at the end of the home page url. We are using a SharePoint online environment. We are trying to change the url from https://company.sharepoint.com/Pages/default.aspx to https://company.sharepoint.com/ When you go to the SharePoint site. I hope you can help Colin
