Hi everyone!
First time posting here 🙂
We recently moved our Knowledge Base to the Discourse forum we’ve had for a while. However, the “Docs” section does not show all the available categories nor articles.
But if you click on Categories \> Documentation, you see a page with all the categories & articles.
Any idea why this happens, or how to solve it? Thank you in advance!

So you want to show subcategories in left sidemenu?
You can use this as a starting point, I reckon.

> Hello. I wonder about the theme setup for left sidebar, is there no way to set the sub-categories as sub-menu under the parent category, I know I can toggle the sub-category inside the the category settings, it get’s two colors icon with the mixed with colors from that sub-category, and the parent category, but honestly members do not get that. So I wonder is it not possible to customize it with already made component or other solutions? I would like to make navigation like this image below, …
(That would make sidebar quite long for mobiles)

Hello and welcome @m.fanega 🙂
If you don’t mean the sidebar and are referring to the `/docs` page, you need to add each category and subcategory to the `docs categories` admin setting, or include the relevant tags in `docs tags`.

Hi Jammy! Thank you, this is what I meant 🙂
Where can I find this admin setting? I’ve been trying but I can’t find it…

I usually go to `/admin/plugins` and use the settings link for the plugin. That takes you to:
```plaintext
/admin/site_settings/category/plugins?filter=plugin%3Adiscourse-docs
```
Searching for “docs” also works quite well, but is less reliable because it depends on the naming of the settings
