Categories

Categories are not displaying on my nodeBB admin page. Any idea why?

A bug on latest https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1620

Thanks for sharing. What would be a work around? Downgrade?

Update to latest nodebb-widget-essentials it should be resolved now. Might want to uninstall it first so that it cleans up the templates. Turns out there was a admin/categories.tpl in widget essentials that was overwriting the one in nodebb-vanilla-theme. Hence the empty categories page.

I tried "npm uninstall nodebb-widget-essentials", and then installing it. After that, I restarted nodebb but no success. Am I missing something?

Make sure you don't have a categories.tpl inside path/to/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-widget-essentials/public/templates/admin if you do delete it. You can also delete all the files inside path/to/nodebb/public/templates those files will be generated when you restart nodebb.

That final bit of instructions did it for me. Thanks a lot @baris. Very much appreciated.
