How do you turn on the display for all the categories in the front page, even if there isnt anything listed?

I have been searching the forums but cant find anything on it..

help needed please..

Re: all category display on frontpage

You can change this within index.php. Search for

and then add the "hide_empty" parameter to the list. So after depth=1 add &hide_empty=0

Re: all category display on frontpage

how do we display all the categories on the 2.9 release without breaking the margins?

old 2.8 -<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&title_li=&depth=1 &hide_empty=0'); ?>

new 2.9.2 -<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&o rderby=name&order=asc&title_li='); ?>

if we follow the old hide_empty=0 - it breaks the margin.

bump...

wondering the same thing.

Re: all category display on frontpage

I think we need to move the categories to another place... If you have more than 10 or 11 your design goes crazy. I'm working on a project with around 30 categories and I think I will creade a widget zone somewhere..... Or may be use a dropdown list?
