Topics preview gone - upgrade from 2.6 to.2.9

AI-generated summary

The user supra2020 upgraded from Discourse version 2.6 to 2.9 and noticed that the topic preview list below the category photo is missing on desktop view, but visible on mobile. They’re using the Material Design Stock Theme. After trying safe mode with no theme, the issue persisted supra2020. Stephen suggested checking if the theme components are up to date. supra2020 discovered that the category description under the photo logo isn’t shown on desktop, which might cause the issue. They’re looking for a way to disable the description on the front page but show it after clicking into the category.

Dear support,

Hey @supra2020

Are your theme components up to date?

Does the issue also occur in safe mode?

@Stephen

Again, thanks a lot.

Hi,

I checked and found out that the category description under the photo logo is not shown in Desktop version., it may cause the missing list of threads issue.

May i know whether we can disable the description to show in front page, but can show after i click to go inside the category? It might solve the problem.

Thanks again.
