I am confused about this report.

github.com/discourse/discourse-categories-suppressed

plugin.rb

main

# frozen_string_literal: true

# name: discourse-categories-suppressed
# about: Suppress categories from latest topics page.
# version: 0.1
# url: https://github.com/vinothkannans/discourse-categories-suppressed

after_initialize do
  if TopicQuery.respond_to?(:results_filter_callbacks)
    remove_suppressed_category_topics =
      Proc.new do |list_type, result, user, options|
        category_ids =
          (SiteSetting.categories_suppressed_from_latest.presence || "").split("|").map(&:to_i)

        if category_ids.blank? || list_type != :latest || options[:category] || options[:tags]
          result
        else
          result.where("topics.category_id NOT IN (#{category_ids.join(",")})")
        end
      end

The only thing the plugin does is suppress categories from latest list, it does not touch the topic page at all, this feels like a feature request, you want to hide a category from an admin?

i’ve re-worded the original post to make it clearer that i don’t have the category suppressed in my admin account. Sorry about that.

this has been updated to latest-release +72

sorry i’m not sure what a topic page is, gpt tells me it’s topics within a category, but i know that to be *featured* topics. Maybe i should share the setting enclosed?

yes, in my case i don’t want the other admin to see the auto-bumps encompassing all my emails. Particularly, on the latest page, but also on the category page aswell he sees;

containing the category that isn’t showing in it’s usual globally-set position, for the other admin.
