    This may just be a standard change to all of WordPress with the recent update (though I’m not finding anything about it in help forums). I’m posting here in case it’s OpenLab specific. With two different themes now, I’ve tried to change the default homepage displays on new course sites to a static page. I navigate to settings>reading to do this and do not see the option. I attach screenshots of the help guide that shows where the option should appear and my site where it doesn’t. I have a page and a post published on the site, if that info helps.

    Hi Mary,

    Apologies for missing this! I just wanted to check in and see if you’re still not able to see these settings.

    It’s not a CBOX OpenLab issue, but the first thing I’d check is whether your page is and public (not private or draft). If that’s not the problem, I’d check to make sure it’s not a plugin or theme issue. Are you able to see the settings on older sites?

    I hope you were able to resolve the issue!

    Best,
    Bree
