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.
