Hi! I’m logged in as admin in my Discourse platform and the button I used to create new categories has vanished: [image] 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? Could…

I think it’s probably a theme component that’s affecting the view. Do you have any likely candidates in your admin/customize/themes page? If you can identify it and disable it for now that should help in the short term.

Hi @Ayelen_Rives :slight_smile: Could you try your site in safe mode to see if it’s a theme component interfering? ([YourSite]/safe-mode)

Thank you so much!! I don’t have any components installed but maybe it has to be with the themes. Some other person on the team edited themes so I’ll check on that before going on.

Thanks!
I tried safe mode and the button shows up for both users. What should I do next?
