Getting rid of general on the landing page sidebar

General
1

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 then other categories which has to be opened to reveal the welcome category and description. How can I get the landing page to show the Welcome category first. I would ideally like the other categories to land opened. I’m sorry if this has been asked before as it seems very basic.

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:

Then on your /categories page, click the wrench to see Reorder Categories. The order you set for categories here is reflected in the sidebar:

If this doesn’t get you there, maybe some screenshots would help illustrate what you’re seeing.

Screenshots would help! You mentioned a ‘sidebar’ in the title but I see no indication of that in your post. Could you elaborate further on this?

Hmm… I’m not getting this part. Could you explain more? Are you referring to nested categories? I also take it that the ‘landing page’ is in fact the Categories (/categories) page?
