Yes, but it’s for testing and has just dummy content. I’ve send you the link in a private message, if you’re able to take a look.
Thanks

Ok, regarding tags, I think it’s because I have grouped them in tag-groups and they have a parent-child relationships. Seems when a tag is a part of a group it doesn’t show on the sidebar.
If I create a new tag from in a topic and it’s not a part of a tag group it shows up.

I can’t get the category and tags to respond to clicks. I can select the KB view, see the cats and tags, but if I click – nothing. Here’s my plugins:
Any known conflicts?

This theme component broke with some changes we made to category routing to allow for 3 levels of categories. If you’re running on 2.4 or later, this theme component is broken I’m afraid. I’ve moved it to #customization:theme:broken-theme for now.
The fix is quite complicated and not urgent since we now have the [Knowledge Explorer Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/knowledge-explorer-plugin/130172) available.

We have decided to fully deprecate this component in favour of the [discourse-docs plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-docs-documentation-management-plugin/130172). If anyone has it installed on an existing site, the component [will be auto-disabled](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-knowledge-base-theme/commit/6c482b00b2df25739815747aa62f7d054ba994a6) once you upgrade to Discourse 2.7.0.beta1 or above (to prevent the site being broken by incompatibilities).
You can see a demo of the discourse-docs plugin [right here](https://meta.discourse.org/docs) on Meta. More info can be found at:
