Currently my forum shows four categories in the side bar. I want to increase that number. When I press the edit pencil button to make the change, my screen turns dark, but I am not presented with any options to make changes. Any clues? Thanks!

Disregard - I was able to fix using safe mode . Still not sure which component is causing the issue, but at least I have a solution..

Thanks again. I disabled all theme components, plugins and went back to default theme, and I still get the same behavior/issue. I do have admin rights. When I press the pencil button, I see this in the chrome console Autofocus processing was blocked because a document already has a focused eleme…

[image] Meathead40: document already has a focused element. hmmm maybe try incognito mode (or turn off your browser extensions or even try a different browser). :thinking: also maybe make sure you are running the latest test passed or supported beta version of Discouse? see #announcements
