Also, see this guide on how to configure the sidebar section ad an admin:

I am looking for categories and tags like in the first screenshot, but I’m still confused. Please help me.

Those categories are site-dependent. Each forum has their own set of categories.

Categories are not an issue, the only problem is that the bottom tags section is not showing in my forum. Please guide me.

Tags section

You can configure which tags appear by default in users’ sidebars in the default_navigation_menu_tags site setting. You can get there by:

1. Clicking “Configure defaults” at the bottom of the tags section (only visible as long as no defaults are configured)
2. Accessing this setting through Admin > All site settings and search for the setting

Tag visibility respects user permissions - tags in a hidden tag group will not appear in users’ sidebars, even if included in the defaults. If you configure only restricted tags as defaults:

• All users (including visitors) will see the most popular tags (same as if they had unselected all tags)

The pencil icon next to “Tags” customizes your personal view only, not the default for all users.

Hi, thank you. I have installed the top search component on my forum (https://forums.sprukomarket.com/), but the large site search banner is still showing. I tried adding custom CSS to remove it, but it doesn’t disappear. What could be the issue?

[NateDhaliwal]

I assume you are referring to the Welcome Banner. In that case, you will need to disable it in the theme settings. Go to Admin > Appearance > Themes, select the theme you are using, and uncheck the Enable welcome banner setting you are using. (Judging by the look, I think that’s the Foundation theme)
