I am all for hel;ping the desperate souls…
And if you are all for self learning – till now you should know the catgeories in the sidebar are listed by using the template tag I linked to above:
<?php wp_list_categories('arguments'); ?>
where the “arguments” should be the parameters listed somewhere lower on the same page.
Also, there are many many examples with two or more parameters there:
<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=1&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=8'); ?>
As you can see it (as a self learner) there is & in between the different parameters, so adding
&hide_empty=0 anywhere in that string BEFORE another & should work.
