I’ve got Discourse set up, but I’m pretty new to this platform and am having some trouble figuring out how to situate the categories how I want them. I’m wanting to go for a look like the Gearbox forums. http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/ Here’s an image in case no one wants to click the link: Imgur: The magic of the Internet I’ve got categories displaying on the front page in the order I want, and I know how to set up the images, but I just can’t figure out how to remove the category titles and move the category descriptions in it’s place. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I did find this topic here, about someone complaining about the titles disappearing when using images but that functionality was removed.

Ok, this took me way too long, but I figured it out. For anyone else that wants a similar setup I’m going to lay it out here. It’s really simple too. Gearbox uses this: .has-logo div:first-child { float:left; } .has-logo h3 a { font-size: 0; } .has-logo .category-description { float: left; width: 250px; }

You should probably fill out the category descriptions… It’s the topic that a button in the category edit dialog takes you to.

I already have category descriptions… either you misunderstood me or I’m missing something really simple related to category descriptions. I made an image to show what I’m talking about. [image] The top image is what it currently looks like on my site. The bottom image is what I want, which is just like how the Gearbox forums have their categories set up.

With span.category-name { display: none; } It looks like this: [image] How would I move the description up to where the category title was? I could use JS to copy the description, hide the description and then paste it into the ‘span.category-name’ but I don’t think that’s the proper way to go about this :\

This has really helped me! The solution has worked, however, I don’t want this rule to apply to subcategories. I can’t seem to fathom the rule I need to allow these changes to take effect to the main categories but for them to ignore the subs. Is there a solution to this? Thank in advance!

Have you tried CSS? eg.

.category-name { 
  display: none;
}

*test, I don’t know where else that class might be being used so you may need a more specific selector
