Hello,

anyone else noticed that recently this does not work anymore?

Thanks for the check and video!

Nope, latest pull and build and something is broken for me.

Is it because my Support category is a sub-category? (worked couple of months ago though)

Just tried it with a subcategory, still working for me… 🤔

Hey @RGJ !  
I totally forgot that I was responsible for this/your plugin in the first place 🙈  
Just got flashbacks after your post and found it again:

> [@Suppress category from latest topics gone](https://meta.discourse.org/t/suppress-category-from-latest-topics-gone/133894/):
>
> Hi Discourse Team, with one of a recent upgrade it seems the category setting Suppress category from latest topics Is missing and I can’t find in the release notes, that this was intentional? Here is the latest information I’ve found from @jomaxro[https://meta.discourse.org/t/hide-category-from-latest/86023/4?u=b-iggy](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hide-category-from-latest/86023/4) This was a very important setting for me. Can you please verify? Thanks

I don’t know why your plugin broke for me. Maybe due your commit 3 weeks ago about the boolean?

In the end I tried this plugin from Vinoth Kannan and it worked:

This was something that was supposed to _fix_ an issue.  
But it didn’t cater for existing values. I have pushed another fix.  
Sorry for the confusion!

Ok, rebuilt again and yes, your 2 new commits fixed the issue, thanks! 🙂
