Add Topics Button Missing

Add Topics Button Missing

Hello,

On most of my course pages, I have the "Add Topics" button at the bottom:

 

For a couple classes, however, there is no "Add Topics" button:

I'm guessing I did something to cause this, but I don't know what, and after searching the Admin and Edit Course Settings areas, I can't find an answer to add the "Add Topics" button again.

 

Can you help me fix this?  I appreciate your time and help!

Chris

I am having the same problem.  I created the course to have 5 topics.   Then realized that I needed one more but the link to add more topics has disappeared from the course.  Anyone know what can be done to fix this? 

SOLVED:  in the Course Defaults, there is an item called: Maximum number of sections. Mine was set to 5 and so Moodle wouldn't allow me to have more.  I changed it to 10 and the link showed back up.

Hello Mr. Carter,

Where do you find this "Course Defaults" area?  I looked in my "Edit Settings" area, and I can't find what you're describing.

I would appreciate your help.  I still have not resolved this problem.


Thank you for your time and help!

Hey there - sure... here you go... It is under Site Administration / Courses (tab) / Course Default Settings
Maximum number of sections:

I had it set to 5... so when I tried to add one to get 6 the link was gone. When I changed this field (in my case to 10), the link shows up!
