Moving from uncategorised to general category

Sorry. I think that is possible to do it, but for reasons I don’t understand, it’s hidden behind hidden settings.

It is now visible in the admin settings. You can find it under default composer category

Thanks. I hope someone from the team sees this and can explain. Maybe it’s all been designed so that the best thing for existing forums is to keep the old non-category-category!

The #general category change has been implemented so it affects newly created sites and leaves existing ones as they are. You can happily continue using your setup as is and don’t need to do anything. (though renaming Uncategorised is a bold choice )

However, if you would like to mirror the new setup you can do this by:

• Creating a new #general category
• Bulk moving all topics from #uncategorised into #general (also consider temporarily toggling the disable category edit notifications admin setting)
• Setting the default composer category to #general
• Turning off allow uncategorized topics
