Hi!  
I’m logged in as admin in my Discourse platform and the button I used to create new categories has vanished:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/4/d/c/4dc7479f8c3a412f14ee2b9935c1ba521df11135.png)

Also, some months ago I gave permission to moderators so they can create categories, but the moderator user doesn’t have the button either.

Why could this be happening? Couldn’t find anything in the setting options that fix this.

Thanks so much for any help
