Answer 1

Hi sns,

make sure if its a subsite, export/import works on a subsite.

couple of scenarios to double check.

1. check if you are able to get to get-spweb object of the url .

---if it spits expection then you probably dont have access.

2.you need to be a  shell admin to execute the operation

Issue the following commands from powershell using your sharepoint db owner (or installer account):

$db = Get-SPContentDatabase -site http://sharepoint
Add-SPShellAdmin -UserName "Domain\SP_User" -database $db

Answer 2

In the left pane of the new SharePoint admin center, select Settings. At the bottom of the page, select classic settings page.

Under Site Creation, select to show or hide the Create site command.

Select OK when you're done.
