 * Why ‘hide_empty’ is not a widget option?
 * It could be changed on line 99 in jquery-category-list.php:
 *  return get_categories(
    array( ‘type’ => ‘post’, ‘child_of’ => 0, ‘orderby’ 
   => $options[‘orderby’], ‘order’ => $options[‘orderdir’], ‘hide_empty’ => 1, //
   HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ‘hierarchical’ => 1, ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’, ‘pad_counts’
   => false ) );
 * It would be helpful if this variable could be configured somewhere and not directly
   in code.
 * Thank you,
    Renate

 * I’ve updated the plugin to include this feature 🙂 test it please.
 * For next time, you’re welcome to change the source code and send me patches, 
   or keep giving ideas.
