Go to /categories, to the right of the navigation is a menu, Create Category should be in it. ---

Have a read through some of the topics in the #howto section – they’ll guide you through a lot of this setup stuff. ---

I have the latest version of Discourse. I’m getting it organized before launching it to the public. The option to add new categories is missing. I follow the instructions: " To add a category, visit the categories page , then click Create Category at the upper right." There is no “Create Category” button so I’m at a dead end. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ---

While on the _Categories_ page `/categories`, click this button and you should see the New Category button. ![Capture11](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/b/6bee9b190dee29d1d34577c4c2e1821359f4407d.PNG) ---

Aw, sadly that button never existed in my instance. I am in bootstrap mode still of that might be a factor. . ![33%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/a/1aa6bdc84039c9ffcb8e97b9b568c03367bca64e.png) ---

You’re on the _latest_ page. That button only shows up on the _categories_ page. You get to the categories page by clicking on this: ![Capture22](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/0/605aab386effe140c4d25dec2a368643657d4351.PNG) ---

그 버튼을 찾을 수 없어요. ![Screen Shot 2020-08-02 at 17.42.14](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/f/1f88f68b897653b10ec77d78bc14100aa0d5e84c.png) ---

관리자가 아닌 것 같은데, 기억이 맞다면 카테고리를 추가할 수 있는 권한은 관리자만 있습니다. ---

그리고 새 카테고리에 숫자를 추가하는 방법은 무엇인가요? ---

URL 끝에 표시되는 번호를 말씀하시는 건가요? 바꿀 수 있으면 좋겠지만, 제가 아는 한 자동으로 할당됩니다. ---

아니요, 저는 특정 카테고리에 번호를 추가하려는 것이었습니다. ‘78’ 카테고리에 게시물을 작성하면, 해당 게시물이 ‘Instagram’ 카테고리에 속하게 되는 것이죠. ---

URL에서 카테고리 ID를 가져와서 카테고리 제목에 포함하도록 수정할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 "78. Instagram"처럼요. URL `forum.example.com/c/78`은 카테고리 페이지로 연결됩니다. 카테고리 ID는 자동으로 증가하는 방식인 것 같아서, 임의로 숫자를 지정할 수는 없는 것 같습니다(제가 아는 한). ---

죄송합니다, 말씀이 맞습니다. 카테고리를 생성한 후 discourse bootstrap 데이터베이스에서 해당 번호를 수정해야 했습니다. 그리고 네, Jonathan5. 완벽하게 작동했습니다. 감사합니다! ---

음, Ubuntu용 discourse 로컬 개발 환경을 설치하고 `rails db:create`와 `rails db:migrate`를 실행한 후 서버를 `rails s`로 실행했습니다. 그 다음 discourse 로컬호스트에 접속하여 관리자 계정으로 카테고리를 하나 생성했습니다. 이후 pgadmin에 로그인하여 `discourse_development` 데이터베이스에서 `categories` 테이블을 열었더니, id가 3인(아마도) 새로 만든 카테고리가 있었습니다. 그 id를 78로 변경하고 저장했습니다. ---

즉, `categories` 테이블에서 `id`만 바꾸면 되는 건가요? 유혹이 되네요. 예기치 못한 결과가 생길 수 있을까요? Uncategorised=1, Staff=3, Lounge=4 등으로 설정된 사실에 어떤 의미가 있을까요? 어딘가의 URL(예: 게시물 본문 내 URL)을 다시 생성해야 할까요? 감사합니다. ---

아직까지 별다른 역효과를 본 적은 없지만, 앱 사용 기간도 그리 길지 않아서요. 죄송하지만 질문하신 내용에 대해 답변드리기 어렵습니다. 혹시 다른 분이 답변해 주실 수 있을까요? [다음 페이지](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-add-categories/71859.md?page=2)
