@nathank - ok i played around with this on my test instance and i was able to rename the section `the-forum` and then back to `community`.

when in the rails console, if you do:

```ruby
SidebarSection.where(public: true).pluck(:id, :title, :section_type)

```

what does it output?

i am guessing it should give something like:

```ruby
=> [..., [1, "the-forum", "community"]]

```

or

```ruby
=> [..., [1, "The Forum", "community"]]

```

which would verify it is `section_type` = `community` with a different title. then we can do:

```ruby
# find the default community section via rails enum
section = SidebarSection.find_by(section_type: :community)

# fallback: if not found by type, then look for the specific custom title
section ||= SidebarSection.find_by(title: 'the-forum', public: true)

if section
  section.update!(title: 'Community')
  puts "Success: The section has been renamed back to 'Community'."
else
  puts "Error: Section not found."
end

```

screenshot of my rails console showing the community section titled `the-forum` and renaming it back to `Community`, then verifying it was changed:
