Hello, I installed Discourse a few weeks ago for an association. The whole works well overall. I am an administrator and I have appointed other administrators and moderators. Another administrator created a category and subsequently renamed it. We want to edit the category, give it another name o…

No, it’s different name. I saw somewhere a method to delete a subject from the server directly in SSH, could a similar method apply for categories? https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-delete-a-topic-permanently/138321/2

I still think it’s uncategorized that now has a different name. But yes you can do something like Category.find_by(name: "ffd").destroy!

I’m guessing some accent in the slug, I had to ./launcher enter app then rails c and c = Category.find_by(id: 'the_id') (q) c.update(slug: 'new-slug') exit and exit Modify Category page was then accessible

Hi, it work !!! Thanks @Benjamin_D , @pfaffman ! I think problem is accent in slug. Problem will repeat when use accent in slug ? [image]

:thinking: what is your slug generation method setting ?

It’s automatic when you assign a name on new category. I think he created category with “slug” name “pour améliorer la communication du site des adhérents du CA” and he rename after “communication vélivélo”.

I mean the parameter, it could be set to ascii or encoded (then something might not work, but I’m not really sure of the expected results and consequences of either one :sweat_smile:)

I do not know at all. I don’t know where the parameter is. I was thinking of using UTF8.

It is there: your.domain/admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=slug

我仍然认为现在只是“未分类”这个类别被改了个名字。

不过，是的，你可以这样做：

   Category.find_by(name: "ffd").destroy!
