Today, I added the `desktop_category_page_style` site setting which allows you to select the style of the [categories](https://meta.discourse.org/categories) page.

The **default** is “Categories and Latest Topics” which list the categories on the left and the latest topics on the right.

You might want to go back to our previous default, now called “Categories with Featured Topics” which list the categories and the top X featured topics for each category.

Or you might want to use (and customize) the _old school_ “Categories Only” which lists only the categories.
