Hello,

We have installed 3 Wiki databases on our bitnami virtual bundle. We are able to access create/modify pages. But we are not able to see "Browe Categories" Option in the left hand corner. We do have pages ties up with categories and now we have no way to see just the categories.

Any help would be appreciated. I am not able to post the link of the wiki site as we are using it behind the firewall and no one execpt my group has access to it.

Hi,

A default installation of MediaWiki (not only in BitNami) doesn't have the "Browse Categories" link enabled by default. You need to manually add it. The steps below should be work in any MediaWiki installation although the main url may differ.

Go to http://<ip>:<port>/mediawiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Sidebar and edit (or create if is the first time) this page. You can add:

Category:Top_level|Browser categories

Then when you create a category that you want to be shown in the Top_level page you need to add Category:Top_level in the category page.

The links below include more information about how to modify the sidebar menu and how to create categories:
