    I’m a brand new WordPress user and have a little problem. My category list isn’t showing subcategories. The display is caused by this line in index.php
    <?php wp_list_cats(‘optioncount=1’); ?>
    They didn’t display before I added optioncount either.

    That’s probably because there’s no posts in the parent category. Set the showempty setting to 1, and they should start showing.

    There are no posts in the parent category, though the parent is showing.
    I changed the line to:
    <?php wp_list_cats(‘showempty=1&optioncount=1’); ?>
    But still no subcategories.
    I waited a whole day to check back. This time I’ll be back in a minute. :>

    That’ll teach the both of us. 1) Me for not checking my info before posting, and 2) you for not checking up on it.
    In the wiki the setting is hide_empty which is set to 1 as default, set it to 0.
    THAT will (should) do it.

    That did it. Of course I had to do it twice because it need to be set to 0 and not 1. Thanks for the help TG.
