I have installed your plugin, but it doesn’t seem to work… 😭  
I’ve followed instruction here [Install plugins on a self-hosted site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157)

After installation Discourse works fine, but it seems nothing changed: if I look at users’ profiles of the group I wanted to force to watch a category, nothing changed, the category doesn’t appear among the watched ones.

This is my fork, maybe I did some mistakes…?
