I have created a subsite and would like to edit the home page, however I can't as the edit page button is greyed out as shown below.

enter image description here

I have created a permissions level called 'Edit Web Parts' which has the option 'Add and Customize Pages' set and assigned it to my username which also has the 'Full Control' permission level. These permissions are set on the main site and the subsite.

enter image description here enter image description here

Image below shows the permissions on the subsite with the name blacked out, orange is the subsite groups and green the top level sites. I am listed under both owner groups.

Why can it not edit the subsite's page?

Generally speaking, home page exists in "Site Pages" library.

Check the URL of your home page, if your page URL is like the following, then your home page exists in "Site Pages" library.

http://your site/subsite/SitePages/Home.aspx

Navigate to the library, Check whether you have full control on the library.

Besides, check whether you have full control on the home page.
