I can’t find an area for deleting channels, deleting categories, shouldn’t that be in the settings? And what’s in my settings, a bunch of useless customization settings, so irrelevant, and such an important function (edit, add, delete categories, channels) function, I searched for 30 minutes and couldn’t find it, I’ve used some forum software, WordPress, Flarum, discuz, etc., but discourse is the first one that I can’t find the edit category and delete channel area. Delete Channels, it’s horrible!

Hi @尔德_王 I’m sorry your experience has been challenging. I know the channels can be a bit tricky to navigate at first. But it’s actually quite easy to manage the channels and categories if you are an admin. For channels, simply go to the channel and click the channel name and it will give you the channel settings (you can delete the channel at the bottom). For categories, go to the category you want to edit/ remove, and click the admin wrench icon in the top right corner to get the catergory admin settings. From there you can delete the category witth the button at the bottom of the category settings screen.

I was also confused that configuring channels, tags and categories is not located in the admin area like for example badges are. While you can also only customize groups from the groups page, there is at least a link in the admin area taking you to the group page. [image]. Maybe something like this should be added for the others as well.

At the beginning, the #getting-started tag, which shows the most helpful topics, is very helpful.

I can’t find the area to delete “Channels” and when I try to delete a category it tells me “There are channels in this category that can’t be deleted.”

I didn’t find any buttons to edit or delete channels [qq]

It’s really irritating, building Discourse is not like other forums, get a zip and install it, it took me three days to install Discourse, during which time I had to solve China’s network problems, especially docker’s network problems, and all kinds of errors, and then the smtp server’s errors, and when I installed it today after a lot of hard work, I even I couldn’t even find a place to delete the channel. Oh my god, it’s like climbing a mountain really hard, and when you get to the top, you realize that your mountain is the lowest, and there are even higher peaks, which is very frustrating and annoying!

Here is a guide about deleting a category. It also explains that you have to delete all topics or move them to a different category. To delete a channel click the channel title: [Screenshot_20240611_210219_Chrome] [Screenshot_20240611_210249_Chrome] [Screenshot_20240611_210329_Chrome]

Thank you very much for your help@Moin, I almost can’t find any keywords on the Chinese internet about the way to configure discourse, who can think of it? There is also a click there

If that’s how you really feel then maybe you should use a different software. Not trying to be facetious; if there are better tools for you out there then you should consider those.

However, if I can’t find any forum software that is more beautiful than Discourse and as full-featured as it is, but the process of building and configuring it was a disaster, I can’t ask for anything, after all Discourse is free and open-source, but after I went through all the trouble of building it, I realized that I couldn’t even configure the categories and channels, and that’s a very maddening thing!

[图片] Moin: tags and categories is not located in the admin area like for example badges are. This is a really good point worth us thinking about. :thinking:

我找不到删除“频道”的区域，当我尝试删除一个类别时，它告诉我“此类别中有无法删除的频道。”
