Problem changing 'Uncategorized' category name via 'Text Content'

AI-generated summary

jobfath is trying to rename the ‘Uncategorized’ category to better suit a Korean community forum by editing ‘uncategorized_category_name’ in ‘Customize / Text Content’. While this worked initially after installation, it no longer reflects changes on the frontend after installing plugins and upgrading to v2.3.0.beta8 +170. dax suggests a browser hard refresh, providing instructions for Windows/Linux and Mac. jobfath clarifies they misunderstood and had already tried hard refreshing multiple times without success. Stephen asks whether the issue is related to missing Korean translation, but jobfath confirms the key was successfully changed to ‘기타등등’ in the admin panel — yet the frontend still displays ‘Uncategorized’. The issue appears to be a caching or rendering problem preventing the updated text from appearing, despite correct backend configuration.

I am trying to change the name of the ‘Uncategorized’ category since I want a forum for the Korean community. As suggested, I am trying to do this via ‘Customize / Text Content’ by changing ‘uncategorized_category_name’.

The first time I tried a few weeks ago right after installation it was working fine. But now, after having installed some plugins and having upgraded to v2.3.0.beta8 +170, I can change ‘uncategorized_category_name’ but the change is not reflected in the frontend.

How can I debug or fix this problem? I am a programmer but I am new to Ruby.

Hi @jobfath, welcome to Discourse.

It seems that an hard refresh of the site fixes the problem.

How do I do a hard refresh?

Windows/Linux:

  1. Hold the Ctrl key and press the F5 key.
  2. Or, hold down Ctrl and ⇧ Shift and then press R.

Mac:

  1. Hold down the ⇧ Shift and click the Reload button.
  2. Or, hold down ⌘ Cmd and ⇧ Shift and then press R.

Oh, you meant a hard refresh on the browser. Sorry, I somehow thought that you meant Discourse itself from the server side. I tried that already many times before this thread with no success.

Are you saying that “uncategorized” isn’t in the Korean translation, or that there is no Korean translation?

I changed the key ‘uncategorized_category_name’ to 기타등등 in ‘Settings / Customize / Text Content’.
I see that the key now has the value 기타등등 but when you visit the site the changes are not reflected.
