You can set a custom class name for each list in the editor. Use this class to target your list in the context where you want to hide it.

Were you able to find a solution for this?

@Misha_Joshi featuring a list of categories is a separate use case. You can handle this with a dedicated component like [Featured Categories Header](https://meta.discourse.org/t/featured-categories-header/203779).

Hello

I’m experiencing a display bug in the Featured Lists view  
(the bug doesn’t appear in the Lastest view that Featured Lists replicates on the homepage)

FYI, the presentation of topics is modified by Discourse Topic Cards.

 ![The image is a Facebook-like social media interface displaying two event posts, one for the "Conventions JDR" in Rennes with a date of 22-24/8/25 and another for "Octoberfest" in Villeurbanne with a date of 10-12/10/25, both centered around the themes of LGBTQ+ craft events.

Thanks for this feature 🙂

Thanks for the report. I needed to update the Topic List component to the new glimmer one.

Should work again now, though I’m moving my components to GitLab. The updated version is at [Manuel Kostka / Discourse / Components / Featured Lists · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/manuelkostka/discourse/components/featured-lists). Will also update the op.

I use Topic Cards but I don’t want it to be implemented in connection with Featured lists. How can I do that?

Hi, it looks pretty great! But you could improve that featured list more to make it smoother, cleaner, and easier to set up for new users. And you’re doing a good job, just keep going.

This component uses the default topic list styling, so it’ll pick up whatever changes you make with other components. No way to change your default style, unfortunately!

Yeah, I know it is quite a technical component. I designed it primarily as a flexible tool that lets me create lots of different design variations, rather than something that’s plug-and-play ready.

I wonder how to choose the custom URL for displaying the component?

Want to use it on the support category in order to display the pinned message using a Kanban template display.

This is not a custom URL, it’s the custom route (`discovery.custom`) that is used to render a custom homepage. The component only supports the routes from the drop-down, no additional URLs.

Hello @manuel

I just updated Discourse to version v2026.9.0-latest +565.

Following this, I’m encountering an error that prevents “Featured Lists” from working.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/0/d/30d9201b82376bd7c0f611530e4b9c3b6e6e95b5.png)

My Forum with the error in the homepage: [https://forums.ffjdr.org/](https://forums.ffjdr.org/)

A big thank you for this component, which makes it possible to highlight the latest posts, for example 🙂

Thank you, already received a community PR and merged it. Should render without errors again!

I see a merged PR here [GitHub - nolosb/discourse-featured-lists: A Discourse theme component to feature custom topic lists. · GitHub](https://github.com/nolosb/discourse-featured-lists), but not in the repo you linked in the first post

Does that update automatically?

Thanks @Moin! I merged the update to both, but set the linked repo back to GitHub.

I had moved some of my personal repos to GitLab because it allows for organization in folders. But I guess I’m gonna move them back to GitHub and be able to better align with our automatic update tools.
