I love this setup, and it’s exactly what we were looking for! I installed the **Layouts Plugin** and then installed the **Layouts Category List** (using the [ProCourse Installer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/procourse-installer-installing-removing-plugins-via-the-ui/115476)) and I see all the Layouts settings. But I’m not sure how to _turn on_ the **Layouts Category List** widget.

After installing the **Category List Widget** should we be seeing that in the Widget dropdown list, after installation?

Here’s what we’re seeing now…

You can look at our forums to see that the 250px sidebar is working… but I just don’t know how to get the category List to show up… [https://forums.pickleballist.com](https://forums.pickleballist.com)
