Hello,

I noticed in the settings (wrench icon) of the category, I no longer have access to the pages for the security, images, etc. tabs…

i cannot reproduce this on any of my forums. does this also happen in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true)? are there any errors in the console?

My version is 2026.1.0-latest

([e68a4bc895](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/e68a4bc8954b5eceaa5cd5e6850e06ac2adc1e41))

I am using the location plugin and this plugin is causing my display to crash on the category setting

Did you try [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) as Lilly suggested?  
The error refers to location-edits from the [Locations plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/locations-plugin/69742), so it’s not a problem with Discourse itself.

Indeed, this is not a Discourse issue.

I need to look at the location plugin to see the problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience 😅
