I think i’m missing a way to turn off the image and description inside the category and sub category in Discourse. I want the logo on the ‘Categories’ page, and am ok with it appearing in the category itself, but assigning a logo forces a Category description to appear inside the category alongside the logo which i don’t won’t.

Wow, check out: [image] Discourse Category Headers theme component Theme component This theme component provides a number of enhancements for the Discourse category header. The ‘standard’ Discourse category header is displayed at the top of each category page, above the navigation links and list of topics.
