Hi, I have a small problem with my company Discourse forum, and I bet It’s easy to fix, but I don’t really have a head for it. What is the problem: Users want topics on a main page to display “category, subcategory, tags” below the topic. Right now it’s only “subcategory, tags” Let’s say I have category and subcategory: Animals → Cats And a tag “Feline, Fur” The topic on a main page only displays like it: Bla bla bla bla Cats Feline, Fur But the goal is: Bla bla bla bla Animals Cats Feline, Fur Tried to check/uncheck admin settings, even tried some HTML/CSS code but no effect. I don’t know where problem is: settings? how topics are created? how categories/subcategories are created? No idea. I will be glad for any type of help.

Hey, welcome to Meta :slight_smile: Do you mean, for example, from [NVIDIA_Share_270OXVsrdT] to: [NVIDIA_Share_iMU83Nr3Gj] ? If so, you can try this component: GitHub - Arkshine/discourse-show-parent-category-link · GitHub

Mine shows automatic category, subcategory and used tags and I can’t remember I would do anything funny :thinking: [IMG_3474] If that was now the question…

That’s at the topic, but only the subcategory is shown in topic lists, like /latest. I think [image] Thix: topics on a main page Is more likely to be /latest than a specific topic

That works. But it really dislikes Category Icons.

Yes, unfortunately, it can’t be supported for the parent category. The core code doesn’t allow access to the extra icons added via the API.

No "parent/main category" visible on main topic page
