Look at the hide_empty parameter in the Template Tag, wp_list_categories.
Sorry for the newbie question, but I’m having the same issue. Where do I actually go to find the Template Tag, wp_list-categories and what do I do when I get there?
Thanks.
I’m going to assume here that you’re looking at a list of categories within your sidebar. Please take a look at your theme’s sidebar.php for that category tag.
Hope that helps,

In my theme’s sidebar.php (Default theme), there is no “hide_empty” parameter shown. The parameters shown for wp_list_cats are: ‘sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchal=0’
I understand that once posts are made to the categories, they’ll be shown, but I’d sure like to find that parameter and turn it off since this is a new blog.
Thanks.
Try adding &hide_empty=0 to your list of parameters.
Ya know, sometimes you get so close to something you miss the obvious. Duh!
Thanks Michael and Dr. Mike.
