Switching to any other category caused those files to disappear from the navigation and from `posts-*` tag listings — even though no translated version existed. If you wrote English posts without a `.en.md` suffix, they simply vanished the moment a visitor switched language. + +### What it does now + +Files without a category suffix are treated as uncategorised — meaning they belong to every category, not just the default one. A post called `my-post.md` now appears in the nav and post lists regardless of which category is active. A post called `my-post.en.md` still appears only in the `en` category as before. + +Mixed situations work as expected: if you have both `my-post.md` and `my-post.nb.md`, the Norwegian variant is shown when the `nb` category is active, and the bare `my-post.md` is shown for every other category. + +### What changes in the build output + +After rebuilding a site with `mdcms build`, affected entries in `nav.yml` gain an `uncategorized: true` field: + +```yaml +- file: posts/my-post.md + title: My Post + sort: 100 + uncategorized: true +``` + +In `search.json`, these entries carry `"category": null` instead of the default category code. This is what tells the renderer to include them universally. + +A rebuild is required for existing sites to pick up the change.
