We changed our homepage to default to the Categories view from the beginning. Today, out of the blue, that view changed to a vertically-bisected screen with categories on the left and Latest on the right. Was this a deliberate change? And is there a way to undo it? It doesn’t look good and we don’t want it that way.

Oh right, I forgot they added back the classic layout. Good catch.
@Rob_Waters that site setting in that topic should get you sorted out back to your desired layout. Change `category page style` to the ‘Classic’ mode for the desired layout.

Sorry. I’m admittedly not a very sophisticated Discourse user and I’m having some trouble following the conversation. Here is how we set the order we wanted originally:
What should I do from here to get it back to the way it was? Or do I have to go somewhere else?

Do a search for `desktop category page style` in Settings

Why can’t I find this setting in my admin settings? Running version v1.7.0.beta2 +64
Nevermind, I see the new setting is in v1.70.beta3
