Awesome, I added a page and then downloaded and activated the “Easel” theme; the problem went away and now the static home page option is back in my original theme! Thanks.

kmessinger – Thanks, but I wasn’t necessarily expecting a technical solution, I just wanted others who stumbled on this post as I did (it was the top Google search result) to be aware that while this thread may have been closed, this issue is not resolved.

Nope, I’m having the same problem as labellush and I’m an admin (and the only user on my site).

[update] Works fine with a clean install on a test domain, though. Guess I’ll install plugins one at a time until the feature breaks.

[update] Just installed all the same plugins on the empty test site that I have on my broken site; didn’t break anything. I assume it’s something that happens when you upgrade to WP 3.3.
