Whenever I create a site in Sharepoint Online I get the "Get started with your site" web part. I remove it but it never goes away entirely. What am I missing?
Make sure you saved the page after you removed the web part.

The left nav menu disappeared from my SharePoint 2019 servers (2 Web Front Ends and 2 SQL Back Ends, all with the latest OS, SharePoint, and SQL patches) recently. I've tried the following:
Create a new Site Collection in the existing Web Application
Create a new web application and a new site collection within it
All show the same issue.
For reference, I've placed a screenshot below showing the blank left nav. To generate that screenshot, I created a new web application, created a new site collection in it (team site) and nothing else.
I welcome ideas as I am new to SharePoint 2019. Thanks!
If someone has access to this site, can they see the navigation?
Do you get the same result if you try to access the site with a different browser?
Please try opening the browser by running as administrator.
If you still get the same result, make sure you have not set oslo as your site's master page and that you have "Enable fast startup" checked.

I've created a "branding" site with Sharepoint 2013. I'm not being able to configure the search engine so that it finds the content from the custom web parts. Most "static" content (institutional content) from the web site are displayed through custom web parts.
So my approach now is to try to configure the Content Search with "Web site" type, in order to have the crawl processing all pages as a regular website. But it's not working, it seems to keep crawling as a Sharepoint site, because the content from webparts are not being "searchable", even if I remove the "MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices" http header.
So, how could I configure the search in order to have the contents from web parts "searchable"?
Finally found the answer!
All webparts are rendered with class="noindex" by default, which causes crawl process to ignore it.
To solve the issue: go to "Site Settings" -> "Search and offline availability" and for "Indexing ASPX Page Content" configuration select "Always index all Web Parts on this site".
This will make sharepoint do not include "noindex" class anymore.
If there are any subsites, the configuration must be done at subsite leve as well.
I'm working on remolding my companies current exsisting Sharepoint site. I installed the SP ZAP Slideshow webpart and went to the sharepoint site to insert it, and absolutely no webparts were listed. I went into the provided Sharepoint 2010 central administration and realized that everything seems to be listed as
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sitepages/
When the website were hosting, and it should be listing is
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sites/
I went to the /sitepages website and all the webparts exsisted and worked, however i need to get them working on the /sites page. Is there some way to switch it so it will not default all the webparts and content i'm uploading to the wrong page? I feel as though the wrong default page is listed? sorry new to all this!
Web Parts, which you see listed and are able to insert on a page when you edit it, come from the Web Part Gallery in the site collection. They are usually installed to the gallery when you activate their site collection-scope feature. Check what features you didn't activate in the new site collection - I suspect that one of them is responsible for the installation of Web Parts you are looking for. (The scope of the feature can be site collection or site - check both.)
I've built a custom SharePoint 2010 web part and deployed it to the home page of a publishing site. It's a very simple web part that just displays items from a SP list in a drop down list. The web part works fine if I'm logged in as a site owner or a member but not if I'm just a reader. The web part doesn't render at all to readers. I don't get any of the web part chrome or title, just nothing. I have other web parts (out-of-box ones) in the same zone that are displaying fine so it's not an issue of the whole zone not displaying.
As a reader, I can still view the list directly so it doesn't appear to be a problem with list permissions.
My web parts are being deployed as a farm solution, not sand-boxed and the assembly is being deployed to the GAC.
I feel like I must be missing something simple here but I'm stumped. Help.
Did you save / Check in the page after editing?
Regards,
Faiz
You may have to actually publish the page for a reader to see it
While setting up a test environment I was attempting to set up many different types of sites for testing various things when I ran into a strange bug in SharePoint.
I was creating a subsite under a blank site template and saw the option for "News Site" so I selected it and got an error saying that the Publishing Feature was not enabled at the site collection level.
Fine. So, I went and activated it and then attempted to create the site again and I got the error:
The Web site address "/mpsite/news" is already in use
Ok, so the site must have been created anyway so I try to visit the URL and get:
The webpage cannot be found
Fine. So, obviously it errored in the middle of the site creation so I'll just delete it via STSADM. Wrong:
There is no top-level Web site named "http://server/mpsite/news/".
So, the site is listed in the sites and workspaces list, but doesn't really exist and can't actually be deleted.
How do I get rid of it from the Sites and Workspaces listing?
You've run into one of the lovely undocumented "features" of SharePoint - site templates get applied after the site gets created in a seperate, descrete step. This means that potentially, a site can "exist" (as far as the content database is concerned) without template, which leaves you with a site you can't browse to, but still sorta "exists" in SharePoint purgatory (I've actually written a couple of hacks that involve relying on this "feature").
It looks to me like you may have run into one such situation - when you went to go create your site, I'm guessing that you got the error before the template was applied to your news site.
The way I've fixed similar problems in the past has been to use SharePoint Designer to delete the sites - since it looks straight into the content database for what does and doesn't exist, it might do the trick for deleting your rouge news site.
Hope this helps!
Have you tried http://server/mpsite/news/_layouts/deleteweb.aspx ?
Or maybe the "Content and structure" (http://server/mpsite/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx) link from site actions?
I know this is old, but it may help somebody. In SP2013 running the Remove-SPWeb Powershell command with the url of the corrupted web worked perfectly for me.
