Yes, I’ve reproduced the issue as follows:

1. Set the Discourse site setting “lazy load categories groups” to “admins”.

2. Perform steps 1 to 3 (above).

3. Subcategories do not appear in [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse).

@davidkingham could confirm whether you’re using the “lazy load categories groups” site setting?
