Hi All, Experiencing a strange issue. This is for a client, so I have to be a little generic. Current Discourse version is v2.0.0.beta4 +87 I have a number of parent categories such as A, B, C, D, and E. For category C I have about 8 subcategories. I want to change their parent to be A, so I go into the category settings. When I click the parent category box, I can see all the parent categories other than A. Any idea why one of my categories may be missing in the parent categories box?

[image] jonobacon: If I renamed it does that mean it can’t have sub-categories? Nope, Uncategorized is not a real category and does not behave like a normal category. Rename the Uncategorized(A) to something else Create a new category A and then you can change the parent from C to the new A.

Did you rename Uncategorised? (Could be unrelated but it’s a bit hard to troubleshoot as you noted so I’ll throw [ideas] at the wall).
