Can't set categories for my posts

[SalahAdDin]

Describe the bug

We are passing the categories to the post by the settings and it is not reflected on the Disqus dashboard.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. First, setup the next code:

   <DiscussionEmbed
             shortname={DISQUS_SHORT_NAME}
             config={{
               url: postURL,
               identifier: slug,
               title: titleEn,
               /*
               Must be
               First tag: category
               Others: order does not matter
               */
               category_id: DISQUS_CATEGORIES[tags[0]?.slug],
             }}
           />

   where:

   const DISQUS_CATEGORIES = {
   general: "8664428",
   "front-end": "8755878",
   "back-end": "8755881",
   "deep-learning": "8755886",
   "video-games": "8755887",
   }

2. Publish a new blog on your site with front-end as first tag., it uses NextJS 10.0.5.
3. Go to the dashboard, Tools > Discussions.
4. The new post will have General as its category.

Expected behavior

As the first tag front-end, we should see it as the discussions category.

Specifications:

• OS: OsX.
• Package version: 1.0.10.
• Node version: 12.x.

@SalahAdDin Thanks for the report. It looks like the package isn't configured to handle the category variable and pass it to the disqus_config. It shouldn't take too much work to add this functionality, so I can try to put up a PR in the next couple days.

@tterb Thank you!

@SalahAdDin I just noticed that the package actually does allow you to pass the category ID, but the param is camel-case (ie: categoryID instead of category_id).

Oh, my mistake them, let me check.

@SalahAdDin I'm gonna assume that this solution worked and close this out, but you can reopen the issue if you're still experiencing issues.

@tterb categoryId or categoryID (first one is more camelCase)?
