Hello, this is pretty awkward : I created 3 categories on my brand new forum, and when I want to configure one of them (the 2 others are OK), I get message “this page does not exist or is private” (although I’m the owner AND admin) What have I done wrong ? (beginner’s mistake I guess)

It could be the category name you picked. Someone had an issue with Finnish letters in this recent topic, and this was suggested as a solution: [Bild] Cannot delete or edit categories Support If you can get to rails then you can do something like /var/di…

I may have a hint : when I’m on the category page, the french accent “é” is twice in the url : I guess this might be part of the trouble when I click on “modify” (which brings straight to 404 error)

Thanks, though I’m hosted, so ssh is not an easy option for me. Where is the slug generation method to be find ? I my guess would have been somewhere in parameters… EDIT : I guess this is it : /c/toute-personne-intéressée-par-nos-activitées/5

That’s okay, if you’re not familiar with the console yet there’s no rush. You can always change the visibility of this one to ‘staff’, and come back and tidy it up later. I’ve just tested it, and having a category called eg. ‘Tést’ is fine, as long as you don’t include the é in the slug (so let dis…

[Bild] Benjamin_D: Indeed, it should be set to encoded This is sounding like a bug. It shouldn’t be possible to set the category such that you can’t edit it. If the problem is the slug, then you should be able to replace the slug with a -, so /c/-/8 (where 8 is the category ID) should work.

[Bild] JammyDodger: I’ve just tested it, and having a category called eg. ‘Tést’ is fine, as long as you don’t include the é in the slug (so let discourse generate the slug for you). OK, though I can’t change anything about this category for now. What’s more, my category name has no accent in…

Warum gibt es eine Kategorie, die ich nicht ändern kann

Es könnte der Kategoriename sein, den Sie gewählt haben. Jemand hatte ein Problem mit finnischen Buchstaben in diesem aktuellen Thema, und dies wurde als Lösung vorgeschlagen:
