The ad plugin has two bugs that block the rest

AI-generated summary

hhf.technology reported two bugs in the ad plugin: the category picker fails to find any categories, leaving four targeted ads disabled, and adding a route causes a server error that prevents creating a specific ad. After NateDhaliwal requested separate topics for distinct issues, the original poster acknowledged the feedback. sam confirmed the issue was fixed via this pull request and recommended disabling lazy category loading unless the site has over 500 categories.

The ad plugin has two bugs that block the rest:

  • Category picker: it never finds any category, so the four category-targeted ads (OpenPanel, Security Summary follow, Compose builder, Write a guide) are saved but off.
  • Route field: adding a route makes the form fail with a server error, so the “help unanswered” ad wasn’t created.

Next time, please put separate bug reports into separate topics with more details. Thanks.

my bad, coming back after a long time.. will follow the rules :slight_smile: thanks for putting the right tag and category

Fixed per:

That said I recommend turning off lazy category loading unless you have a tremendous number of categories. (over 500)
