Hello! AFAIK, there are only categories and subcategories. Sub-subcategories do not exist. Tags might be the best solution for that.

Generally speaking sub-sub-categories are not a recommended organizational structure. Tags are almost always the better option when you need additional classification beyond the single sub-category level. With that set, sub-sub-categories do exist and can be enabled using the steps in this post: [image] Sub-sub-categories Support Quick guide to set it from 2 (default) to 3 via the console: cd /var/discourse/ ./launcher enter app rails c read current value: [1] pry(main)> SiteSetting.max_category_nesting => 2 write new value: [2] pry(main)> SiteSetting.max_category_nesting = 3 => 3

Taylor, in some cases (multiple business working groups within the same discourse instance) sub-subcategory capability would be much more preferable to tags. There is a main common space, but each work group gets a category that has subs. With some subs, an extra sub is needed forcing a sub into a new master category which is inconvenient for managing/sorting the site’s structure..
