   What is the best approach for removing the "No categories" notice when no sub-categories are present?

   Here is my code, which seems to work well, and links to populated sub-categories fine. Is something wrong here?

   <div class="sub-cathead">
     <ul>
       <?php
       $children =     wp_list_categories('style=none&hierarchical=0&title_li=&child_of='.$cat.'&echo=0');
       if ($children) { ?>
       <?php echo $children; ?>
       <?php } ?>
     </ul>
   </div>

   To answer my own question, here is what I have found:

   In wp-includes is a file, category-template.php.

   On line 454 (or so) is the line:

   'show_option_all' => '', 'show_option_none' => __('No categories'),

   Replace the ('No categories') with (''), save the file and upload it to replace the old category-template.php file.

   Every time you upgrade WordPress, repeat.

   If there is a better approach, please advise below.

   You can pass show_option_none='' to wp_list_categories instead.
