Thank you @angus Good to know about /site.json where [I do see all categories.](https://connect.oeglobal.org/site.json) I found the problem! It was totally [PEBKAC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_error).

In the plugin settings, for Discourse URL, I had entered an http:// url not https:// - note the example below the field perhaps should reflect this.

Changing our URL to [https://connect.orglobal.org](https://connect.orglobal.org) made everything work.

I am embarrassed for missing something so obvious. Case closed.
