AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around category descriptions in the category list box on a Discourse platform. dave_odiakaose is trying to display category descriptions underneath each category, similar to the Discourse Demo, but is having trouble. Stephen advises editing the category settings to add a description, but tshenry notes that category descriptions are only visible to non-staff users with Trust Level 0. dave_odiakaose still encounters issues, and Stephen reiterates that descriptions are only visible to Trust Level 0 users, which may not be applicable to the first 50 users in bootstrap mode.
Edit the settings on the category and click ‘Edit Description’ - once edited it will appear below the category.
One thing to note - even if you add a category description, the description will only display in that dropdown for non-staff users that are Trust Level 0. See below:
You won’t see it as explained above. Descriptions are only visible to trust level 0 (new) users.
If your site is a new community with bootstrap mode still running then the first 50 users are created at trust level 1 and won’t see it either.
