Hello. How to create 3 levels of category structure in forum (see image)? category → 2. subforum → 3. subsubforum [discourse-arduiono] I can’t find anything in the settings.

[image] Number of Subcategories Support You need to have access to the server where Discourse is running. If you’re hosted somewhere, you’ll need to ask whoever is running the server to do this for you. cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rails c SiteSetting.max_category_nesting = 3 exit exit

And then there is a big risk some other things will break. Deeper nesting category structure is a solid way to get off topics and difficult searches. I give an example. Topic includes working dogs that are eating raw food and dry food has some skin issues and needs some nutraceuticals Should such topic be found in dogs → breeds → working dogs food → styles → raw or dry food health → skin → skin of fur → allergies or something else nutrition → nutraceuticals or functional ones → vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins or something else And if we go deeper — should e.g. vitamins have 4th level where can be found vitamins A, B, E, D etc. Minerals are much wider question. But there is a solution \0/ : tags Categories have only one level, perhaps two in some cases. And everything else is done using tags. I challenge all admins who are so sure multileveling is must, giving to an ordinary user task to create a topic in right category find something
