# "No Categories" Display Error

 * I think i have a display error on my blog site. It currently says “categories”
   on the RightColumn on the website and reads “no categories” underneath. When 
   i go to the back office “categories” is not included in the RightColumn section!
   I cannot seem to get rid of this at all – I have tried adding the Categories 
   widget to the right column and it adds successfully but does not override the
   first one which still shows up on the website.
 * This seems to be an error, any advice? Is there anyway to access this and just
   get rid of it? it is right at the top of my right hand column and looks rubbish!

 * additional – when I add categories to the RightColumn it lists all my categories
   successfully and looks fine on the website, its just so weird that it allows 
   me to do this when this odd categories section is also there.

 * please post a link to your site.
 * generally, the ‘widget’ might be hard coded into sidebar.php, and the code might
   be broken – look for some code with `wp_list_categories()`
 * or paste the full code of sidebar.php into a [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
   and post the link to it here –

 * Try editing your theme’s sidebar.php file and removing `<?php wp_list_categories();?
   >`.

   both described about half way down –
