I have created a SharePoint site using Office 365 and I am trying to get the menu to show down the left hand side as currently it is along the top of the page. The site layout is set to Seattle but the menu does not show. Some of the articles I've read talk about clicking on Navigation link in site settings but I cannot see this link. Not sure if there is something I need to enable.
How can I get this to show?
Site Settings
Left Hand Side of Page
Thanks
You could enable publishing feature, you'll see the setting.

Is there a way to insert/add logo before the top navigation in SharePoint ? Currently we have Home link and we want to replace it using a logo instead.
Thanks!
Assume you are talking about SharePoint online development. I suggest using command set in SharePoint Framework.
The Command Set is the only type of SharePoint Framework Extension for which you can configure icons.
When deploying Command Sets, you can choose whether their commands should be visible on:
The command bar (location: ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet.CommandBar)
The context menu (location: ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet.ContextMenu)
Both (location: ClientSideExtension.ListViewCommandSet)
You can use an external icon image or a base64-encoded image as your icon image.

Also, there is a third party option. it will be less work just to change a icon but also limited choice of icons which they've provided.
ShortPoint can customize SharePoint Global Navigation and allows you to utilize ShortPoint Icons in your navigation.
The result will be something like this. Reference here.
So depend on your need, SPFx will give you more freedom and Shortpoint will take less work.
As for SharePoint On-premises. I think these below links can help you.

I am going nuts trying to figure out what is happening here.
I created a new page in a SharePoint site using the gear and clicking add page.
The page on the right is the home page for the site and in the red box is the edit and settings for the page.
On the left I have thee new page that I added to the site, and in yellow is the edit box for this page.
How do I make it so that the edit are for the new page works the same way as the right page? What am I doing wrong??
For anyone else that comes across this. If you use a "Site Page" you dont get the options. You need to use a different type of page ie "Wiki Page"
I'd like to ask if you came up with a solution that will allow for subsites to access a centralized document library at the parent level. I'm still trying to no avail. I've tried doc library templates, views, Doc Center and the best method i have OOTB is a page view web part on the subsites page display a view from the parents library. (by the way to remove the ribbon, append ?IsDlg=1 to the url and the ribbons hidden) cool tip. Say will you give be a Y/N on a solution that will allow one to keep a set of documents in the doc center and surface them in the sub-site.
There are another option without such hard coding. You can open any view of your document library, as mentioned earlier AllItems.aspx for example with SharePoint Designer. Open it for editing in advanced mode (there are option when you click right mouse button on file in SP Designer). Then just point mouse cursor inside web part and chose in ribbon web parts, Add to Site gallery, see the picture. Fill in name of new web part. That is all, now you can add this web part on any page on any web site from webpart gallery through the user interface or through the SP Designer by clicking Insert, Web Part in the ribbon on any page.
You can do this by editing the AllItems.aspx (or other view page) and scraping off the WebPartPages:ListViewWebPart and pasting it into a page on the subsite.
This will give you an error "List does not exits The page you selected contains a list that does not exist."
Then you need to get the WebID for the root site (where you took the ListViewWebpart from and replace the part of the webpart that looks like this:
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</WebId>
with (for example)
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">7b04dee8-b120-4dee-abea-28b77316ec7d</WebId>
I'm working on creating a reusable and extensible web application in SharePoint 2010. I've created a master page to apply across all pages in the site. However, whenever I create a web part page and navigate to it, the site icon does not display. Instead of my custom site icon being displayed it shows the default SharePoint icon. I can get around this by placing the icon directly into the master page, but that would require me to create a new master page if I ever wanted to extend this web application.
Does anyone know why this is happening? My initial thought was that the web part page had somehow been customized to not use the default master page, but that does not seem to be the case: if I update the master page it is reflected in the web part page.
Googling around and checking this site yielded little answers. I only found one post out there that reported the same issue I am observing but there was no solution.
If it helps, I did notice one phenomena when navigating to this page. Before the page completely loads, the correct site icon appears for a split second before being replaced with the default site icon. Hope that helps.
I ran into the same issue this morning and didn't want to create a custom master page just for this, but luckily it was quickly resolved by following admlcrunch's suggestion (on SharePoint 2010):
Go to the desire page
Click on the "Page" tab at the top
Click on the "Title Bar Properties" at the right (in the ribbon)
In the Image Link section on the right, paste in the image URL
Click OK
The only bad thing about this is, you have to update every Web Part page that you want custom icon image to display.
I was just having the same issue. Web Part Pages have their own icon that you can set.
To set the icon click Page > Title Bar Properties. This will open the Web Part Page Title Bar dialog. In this dialog there is an area to set the Image Link. You can set the icon here. I just copied the URL to the site icon.
Open the page in designer and remove the custom titlebar place holder:
[WebPartPages:TitleBarWebPart]
from the :
[asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea"]
I have deleted "New comment" webpart on the Blog Post detailed Page on the my SharePoint blog site, I am unable to find it in the webpart list.
How can I get undo / add the webpart back.
If you have clicked the X button in the top-right corner of the web part, it is simply closed. You can get it back as follows:
Click on Actions, Edit Page
Click Add a web part
Click Advanced Web Part Gallery in the top bottom-right corner of the dialog
Click on Closed Web Parts in the tool pane on the right
Drag the closed web part from the tool pane back onto the page
If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted. If you have check-in/out available to the page you can go back to a previous version to restore it. Otherwise you will need to restore from backup if you have one.
A very usefull way to see all web parts on the page, including closed ones, is the Web Part Maintenance Page, which is accessed by simply adding '?Contents=1' to the page address
I faced the same problem (it was my mistake :(), but I am able to get my “New Comment” webpart back on the page by using SharePoint Designer.
Steps to get “New Comment” webpart back on the page
Create New blog site just to get “New Comment” list form Webpart
Open Newly created blog site in SharePoint designer and address]/ Lists/Posts/Post.aspx page and
Copy the full XSLT code of “New Comment” list form Webpart
Go back to your production blog site and place the copied XSLT just after “comments” list view Webpart on the page
Provide “your comments list GUID” under List Name property of the copied XSLT
Save and close.
That’ it. Your “New comment” Webpart is back on the page

"If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted."
Here is a solution that does not require SP Designer and fixes the problem in a couple minutes.
In fact, it is only the Default View associated to the webpart that is deleted. Click on View All Site Content. Then on the defective library link. It will open the listedit.aspx page. Go down to the Views section. Select another view or create a new view and make it the one by default. That's it. You are back in business. Of course, you need to correct the library link in the Quick Launch section.

In my case it was a "Summary Link Web Part" that was added to a Document Library and the user accidentally "x'd" out off it. I found the "closed" web part by doing the following:
Click on "Site Actions | Edit Page"
Click on "Add a Web Part"
In the "Categories" list box on the left the last folder is "Closed Web Parts". Select the Web Part and re-add it.
