   I'm having major trouble with wp_list_cats. I have the following categories (number at left is ID, - indicates child):

   30 Blog
   - 1 General
   - 2 Jargon
   - 27 Rants
   - 31 Tea
   3 Ticker
   - 9 Der Langrisser
   - 25 FEIDIAN
   - 10 Heroine Anthem
   - 11 Heroine Anthem II
   - 12 Legend of the Swordsman & Fairy
   - 26 NINJA
   - 24 Obsoleted

   I want it to appear as a list with the children indented, but unless I set hierarchical=0, NOTHING AT ALL appears. I thought maybe it was due to no posts in the parent categories, but after adding posts, that turned out to be false.

   What string should I be using? An empty string or sort_column=name does nothing, and sort_column=name&hierarchical=0 makes a big ugly un-indented list that mixes all the children together.

   I am using WordPress 1.5.2

   From the Codex article on wp_list_cats, I'd say you'd want:
   <?php wp_list_cats('children=1&hierarchical=1&hide_empty=0'); ?>.

   This string should display your list of categories with the children categories indented and all categories will be displayed (regardless of whether there are posts in the categories).
