For some reason, my topics are not populating in the latest section of my category view. Here is a screenshot in safemode:

With it also happening in safemode I’m not entirely sure what to even attempt. Any thoughts?

Suggest providing the browser console output especially any errors.

If no errors right click and inspect the missing area.

This feels a little like ["Invalid date" and zero replies in width below 640 px - #6 by david](https://meta.discourse.org/t/invalid-date-and-zero-replies-in-width-below-640-px/385550/6)  
Where information about topics on the category page was also missing.

Thanks Robert! I do see some console errors:

The elements just don’t seem to be there:

That seems like a solid hunch… FWIW, this worked fine last night, which was like 10 hours ago. Not sure if it was delayed because we’re enterprise and someone installed it later?

It looks like the forum was updated within the last 11 hours, so you have the fix that is mentioned in the other topic.  
I don’t know what version you were on before, but maybe the commit that caused that bug also causes this one

Hi @putty - looking into this now. I can reproduce the same problem on other sites using the “subcategories with featured topics” mode for the "desktop category page style”.

It does indeed seem related to the ‘fix’ made in the other topic which @moin linked.

For the record: the fix is merged (and deployed to Derek’s site)
