sweet_Girl asked two questions about the Featured Categories component: why her forum displays only one category on desktop (while others show two), and why on mobile, her category images appear above text instead of beside it—despite using 200px images. She included screenshots for reference and linked her forum: https://community.robotime.com/. tobiaseigen noted the component might not be official and suggested contacting its author on meta.discourse.org. manuel explained that the component offers a Layout setting (list or cards), but the forum she referenced likely uses custom CSS for its advanced card layout, having selected none in settings and styled it manually. The issue appears tied to theme customization rather than image size or default behavior.
hey guys
I have two questions about Featured Categories components and hope to get your help
Q1:Why do other people’s forums show two categories on the computer, but mine only shows one?
Q2：Why are the images in other people’s categories on the left side of the text in mobile browsers, but mine is above the text? I checked the size of my image and it is also 200px, but the display results are different? Why is this?
@sweet_Girl were you able to resolve your issue? Looks like you did not provide enough detail to enable anyone to help you. It can be tricky considering that Discourse can be customized in many ways!
Is the component you are referring to the Featured Categories Header component? If so, that is not an official component so you will need to reach out to the author in that topic for help.
@sweet_Girl the component has a Layout setting where you can choose between a basic list and a cards layout:
However, the community you shared has a custom layout design for the cards. This is an advanced solution. They likely picked none on the layout setting and then added custom CSS to get exactly the layout they want.
