Hi, I’m a newbie. I have created a Welcome category and the description which seems to function as the first topic. I have altered the category order so that it at the top of the list and General at the bottom and that lists okay, but the landing page always shows General at the top - then feedback…

Hi wrcstewart! I’m not sure from your description how you’ve altered the category order, but you’re probably close. If we started from scratch, there are a couple of things to look at… First, the site setting fixed_category_positions should be enabled: [image] Then on your /categories page, clic…

When I arrive at your site, the hamburger menu (sidebar) is open. Do you mean that you want your other categories to appear in the sidebar list, something like this? [image] If that’s what you mean, look in Admin for the site setting “Default navigation menu categories” and add your other catego…

i suggest reading this topic [Bild] Configuring the default sidebar for your users Administrators The sidebar provides quick access to important sections of your Discourse site. While users can customize their own sidebar to suit their preferences, providing a…

You can also configure /categories to be the default homepage by changing the order of the items in the top menu site setting. The one at the top is your default homepage [Bild] Default Homepage [IMG_1133]
