I used to be able to see the subcategories when publishing a post to Discourse, now I can only see top level categories in the dropdown. I do have the option checked for displaying subcategories in the WP plugin so there seems to be a regression here.
Hey David, I just tested this out and it’s working for me. Here’s what I did with my test setup (wp-discourse.pavilion.tech is connected to demo.pavilion.tech).
-
Created a new sub-category: Eclipses - Pavilion's Demo Community
-
Turned on “Display Subcategories” in WP Discourse Publishing settings.
-
Forced a category update in WP Discourse by checking “Force Category Update”.
-
The eclipse sub-category appeared in the category list in WP Discourse.
-
Publishing to the eclipse category worked as expected.
Could you walk me through some similar steps reproducing the issue?

I wonder if this is related to the experimental ‘category scaling’ mode? Maybe worth trying? (@davidkingham do you have that enabled?)

Yes, I’ve reproduced the issue as follows:
-
Set the Discourse site setting “lazy load categories groups” to “admins”.
-
Perform steps 1 to 3 (above).
-
Subcategories do not appear in WP Discourse.
@davidkingham could confirm whether you’re using the “lazy load categories groups” site setting?

Thanks guys, yes I had it set to admins, disabling it does not bring the subcategories back.
You may need to also invalidate your WP Discourse and / or Discourse caches.
- Update the details of a category in Discourse.
- Select “Force Category Update” in the WP Discourse Publishing settings and “Save Options”.
That did the trick, thank you Angus!
