Actually, I’m not using the Docs plugin for managing documentation — I only need a simple UI to filter topics by multiple categories and multiple tags at once, all on the same page.
The default Discourse interface requires going through Advanced Search, which is too hidden and includes many filters I don’t need (like author or date). I’m looking for a more focused and direct experience.
The old Docs plugin helps me achieve this multi-category, multi-tag filtering, but it still has one limitation:
When I select a parent category, it only shows topics directly inside that parent — it doesn’t include topics from its subcategories.
In contrast, the default category view shows both parent and subcategory topics.
This is why I’m still using the plugin, even though it’s not ideal.
Here’s my previous request related to this: Multi menu select Group tags
Thank you again to everyone who’s taken time to discuss and help refine this — your support and insight are deeply appreciated.
