I have two site collections. On the first, I can make modern pages, add news articles, images etc and then set that or any page in the Site Pages folder as a home page by right clicking.

On site two, I can make the pages, but the option to set that as a home page is not there.

Both sites have the same permissions. Both pages are checked in when trying to set it.

Whats going on here? I've spent hours on a new page for site two and now I fear I will have to modify the "default" classic home page which is not what I want to do.

  • Are they both modern site collections?

  • How do you have the "classic" home page on a modern site collection? It sounds as though one of your site collections was originally classic.

  • Both of the site's had classic looking pages. Don't know how. Maybe they are wiki or webpart pages?

  • Are you viewing the pages library using the new experience?

Please go to SharePoint Designer and check if you can set the home page as shown below:

You could also try to use powershell to set home page and compare the result.
