I am an employee at Jupiter.community ([Categories - Jupiter Community](https://community.jupiter.money/categories)). I was wondering if there was a way to make the default category page look like the subcategory page. For example - the category page has a section called ‘latest’ with individual topics.
The subcategory page looks a lot neater, as it has the name of the subcategory on the left, and then the latest post within that subcategory on the right.
Was wondering if there was a way to replicate the subcategory view in the category section itself

The site setting `desktop category page style` allows you to control the look and feel of that page!

I am an admin on my site, I’m just a bit new to everything. I simply can’t find this section you’re referring to.

Hamburger - Settings - type (part of) the setting name where it says “Type to filter”.

A simpler way is to run the setup wizard again. Visit `yoursite.com/wizard` and click through the steps until you get to the “Homepage” step:
Select the desired layout from the dropdown menu, then click the “Finish” button to save your changes.

I literally just had this same question asked to me in a meeting the last hour. Basically have a specific “landing category” for members of a particular group (in the example I was asked about, at least).
~~I am not aware of any way to do this just yet but will keep looking.~~
OK, that was fast:

> It’s not well-documented, but here is a theme component that allows changing the home page for different groups: [GitHub - pfaffman/discourse-custom-homepage-for-groups: Discourse theme component to change home page based on user's primary group · GitHub](https://github.com/pfaffman/discourse-custom-homepage-for-groups)

When I get some time, or someone asks nicely, submits a PR, or pays me money, I’ll improve that theme component. I think it works, though it’s not clear how to use it… Hmm. I’m not sure that it actually works, but it’s pretty close. 🤷♂️
