The default list filter category setting, added following this topic: In a top category page, show only its own topics below subcategories - #29 by sam, causes a nondeterminist behavior as far as I understand.
It seems that setting it to “no subcategories” redirects the base category URL to the /none category URL. But sometimes this page displays the “subcategory” filter, sometimes it does not. Especially, the first time a category is clicked, this filter isn’t displayed. Hence, subcategories are nowhere to be found, completely invisible. Then, if I refresh the page, the filter reappears.
It is plausible that the filter doesn’t cause the issue but rather just reveals it, because before this filter, the only way to access /none was to open the subcategory filter so it was already displayed and we never knew that sometimes it wouldn’t be displayed. If that makes sense.
Steps to reproduce
- In a category, set the
default list filtercategory setting to “no subcategories” and save - Access said category through any regular means, e.g. link in the menu
- Subcategory filter isn’t displayed
- Refresh, it is now displayed
