You also have to set Top Topics as your homepage. Your homepage is set to the categories list. That’s because this theme setting only shows the pinboard lists and hides the content below. That only works on the top route. We can replace top topics with a pinboard list of top topics if needed. We typically need the categories list or latest topics for the forum to work.
You set the top page to be your home page by making it the first item of the top menu list in your admin settings:
Yes, these items are hidden. I’m opinionated about it on this theme because Latest/New/Unread are already available from the sidebar and Top is used for the landing page.
If you want to use the theme and have those items on the navbar, you’d need to override the style declarations of the theme manually.
I don’t see Latest/New/Unread in the sidebar, either on my instance of the theme, or the test site, or the screenshots in this post. Can you point me in the right direction?
Latest is called Everything on the sidebar by default. On my screenshots it’s named All.
But yes, it’s true that Unread and New don’t show on the sidebar now. I thought they showed there just as they had before on the hamburger dropdown. Maybe I remember wrong or it has been changed. There’s still constant updates to the sidebar.
The contextual info about new content on the sidebar are notification dots following all menu items that hold new content for the logged-in user:
Screenshot is from a laptop 15 inches - It seems out of proportions ?
Have you considered a tabbed solution in stead of displaying the categories in boxes in list-format - i.e. “feedback” would be a tab next to “Welcome to Pinboard” ?
