Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

hhf.technology reported two bugs in the ad plugin: the category picker fails to find any categories, leaving four targeted ads disabled, and adding a route causes a server error that prevents creating the “help unanswered” ad. NateDhaliwal requested that separate bugs be posted in individual topics with more details. The issue was resolved by sam, who linked to a fix in the Discourse repository and recommended disabling lazy category loading unless the site has over 500 categories. hhf.technology confirmed the fix works.

The ad plugin has two bugs that block the rest:

  • Category picker: it never finds any category, so the four category-targeted ads (OpenPanel, Security Summary follow, Compose builder, Write a guide) are saved but off.
  • Route field: adding a route makes the form fail with a server error, so the “help unanswered” ad wasn’t created.

Fixed per:

That said I recommend turning off lazy category loading unless you have a tremendous number of categories. (over 500)
