  • After placing the same portlet on a Content Page, those options will no longer appear.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1
  • Liferay DPX 7.2

Resolution

  • Content Pages are especially conceived to publish pieces of stylish-able web contents (Fragments) and to provide a different experience both for content editors and web developers. The "traditional" portlet experience and functionalities have been going under a large refactoring. Please find some notable paths below:

  • Configuration: The Configuration menu is accessible in edit mode on the Content Page itself:
  1. Switch to Edit mode for the whole Content Page
  2. Hover the mouse over the custom portlet deployed onto the page
  3. Find the cog wheel on the right-handed side of the portlet, click on the icon
  4. The Configuration option will now be available
