Hello; I’ve installed 2.9.0.beta4 and I can’t customize colors. They are not shown.
AI-generated summary
A user (smth1) reported a bug in Discourse 2.9.0.beta4 where color customization options are missing and category descriptions cannot be edited. Don speculated it might relate to a recent refactor. smth1 confirmed the issue also affects another long-running forum. j.jaffeux acknowledged the issue and noted it only reproduces on production builds, submitting a fix via PR #16530. smth1 also reported missing category description fields, which j.jaffeux clarified appear after category creation. smth1 asked for command-line instructions to fix the issue, to which pmusaraj advised rebuilding the site in 30-40 minutes once the fix passes automated tests. After the fix, smth1 noted colors still don’t change when edited — a behavior j.jaffeux couldn’t reproduce. Eventually, smth1 confirmed the issue resolved itself and requested help with another bug regarding missing members.
I think It was refactored today maybe there is an issue with this?

Yup, I’ve upgraded my another forum that’s up for 6 months and it has same problem now.
Will have a look shortly.

Also it’s not possible to edit description of a category. Also problem with adding description too.
On which screen? (probably totally unrelated to this)

/categories
try to add new category and there is no field for description
I will track this as I couldn’t repro locally but only on production builds, but this should fix it:

So what should I do now to fix this? I’m not so expert here.
Give me commands 
You should rebuild your site in about 30-40 minutes. The fix that Joffrey just merged needs to go through some automated tests before it’s available for your self-hosted install. (If you’re not self-hosted, it’s a different story.)

Now it shows up, but doesn’t changes colors when I replace e.g. header color. It stays still the same default discourse blue. - @j.jaffeux
Hi, I’m sorry I don’t have any reproduction of this bug.
