Hi I’ve done some searching prior posting this. How to achieve such front page (home page) layout design (where “category” on the left, and “latest” on the right)? Thanks.

It’s a site setting. Search for desktop category page style
and choose “categories and latest topics”.
And here you need to drag “categories” at the first place on the left (before “Latest”) to have the homepage with the categories

Easier to just run the setup wizard again at /wizard
provided the user is logged in as admin.

@codinghorror , when you run /wizard again, will you lose existing content on the forum ?

No, it’s safe to rerun the setup wizard at any time.

This is the compromise we use on our forum
The compromise we reached on our forum was to
Set categories as the homepage
On mobile, make the logo link to /latest

The suggestion came from somewhere on meta, but I can’t find it right now.
The code we use (in the Mobile “Header” section of CSS/HTML customisation) is
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.4">

Is it possible to set to latest topics only for both desktop and mobile?
We have a theme component that can allow you to change the mobile homepage
Currently the default homepage settings found in the admin panel and user preferences apply to both desktop and mobile. This is a very simple theme component that will allow you to specify a different default homepage for the mobile view of your Discourse forum.
It is important to note that this will force mobile to navigate to the homepage you choose in this theme component. Your users will not be able to override the default homepage for mobile via their user preferences at this point.
