Some Game Categories Are Missing in ABCya!

Restore hidden game categories with ABCya's Category Control, then refresh the grade-level page.

Some categories of ABCya games are missing from the grade-level pages. How do I make those games visible again?

Quick Fix

Check Category Control. ABCya allows account holders to turn categories of games on or off. A missing category may be hidden rather than removed from ABCya.

Restore the category from your ABCya account.

  1. Sign in to the correct ABCya account

    Use the school-approved account that controls the game choices students are expected to see.

  2. Open Tools

    From the signed-in account, open ABCya's Tools page and select Category Control.

  3. Turn the missing category back on

    Find the category that is missing from the grade-level page and enable it. Leave intentionally restricted categories turned off.

  4. Refresh the grade-level page

    Return to the appropriate grade-level page and refresh the browser. ABCya notes that a refresh may be required before a Category Control change becomes visible.

If Category Control is unavailable

Confirm that you are signed into the correct subscribed account. ABCya lists Category Control as a membership tool. If your school manages the subscription centrally, ask the account manager to review the category settings rather than creating another account.
