Change category color setting

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around changing the category color setting. tpetrov is having trouble finding the setting, but EricGT explains that it can be accessed by selecting the category from the all categories dropdown and then clicking the Edit button.

However, tpetrov is unable to see the setting on their installation, and codinghorror suggests that this might be because they are trying to change the “uncategorized” category, which is not a real category. EricGT confirms that the Edit button is visible for uncategorized, but codinghorror clarifies that only the description can be changed for this category.

tpetrov is still unable to find the setting for a normal category, but Falco reveals that the issue might be due to the category style being set to none in site settings, which hides colors. tpetrov confirms that this was indeed the problem and thanks for the solution.

Okay, I feel stupid, but I cannot find the setting to change the color of a category (I’m sure there was such an option).
Have it been removed?

From the home url, e.g. https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/, you should see the all categories selector.

Don’t for get to click Save Category when done

Yeah, I also looked there, but strangely it doesn’t show on my installations (even in safe mode):

Are you trying to change the “uncategorized” category? That is not a real category but the null state of no category applied to a topic.

I also see the Edit button for uncategorized. Should I not?

EDIT

After seeing Jeff’s response. uncategorized is special.

You can only change the description.

Hmm, don’t have it even on a normal category

If category style is set to none in site settings we hide colors.

Yes, it was that. Thanks
