Create new category in discourse

To create a new category in Discourse, you'll need to have the necessary permissions to manage categories. Here are the steps:

1. Log in to your Discourse instance as an administrator or a user with category management permissions.
2. Click on the "Customize" button in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Select "Categories" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click on the "New Category" button.
5. Fill in the required information:
   • Name: Enter a name for your new category.
   • Description: Enter a brief description of your new category.
   • Parent Category: Choose the parent category for your new category. If you want to create a top-level category, select "Uncategorized" as the parent.
   • Icon: Choose an icon to represent your new category.
6. Click the "Create Category" button to create the new category.

Your new category will now be listed in the category list, and you can start creating topics within it.

Note: If you're using a self-hosted Discourse instance, you may need to configure the category settings further, such as setting the category's visibility, moderation settings, and more. Consult your Discourse documentation or seek help from a Discourse administrator for more information.
