Categories not displaying on wordpress 4.0

It turns out that there were conflicting css styles in another plugin I had that caused the no show. All fixed now

Hi,

Could you please tell more, because I have the exact same problem?

Thanks,
Mitja

Hi, I appreciate if anyone can tell me why on wp 4.0 the widget doesn’t display anything. I’ve tried to activate, deactivate plugin, deactivate all plugins but nothing. I noticed was corrected this bug but it seems doesn’t work.

Any ideas? Issue?

We have just encountered a very similar issue: Category menu not displaying.
Following Patsam’s notation, we inspected our CSS and found a conflict with the Twitter Bootstrap CSS (Version 3+) –> in particular the .collapsing CSS class.

Our initial fix:
.widget_collapscat .collapsing {overflow: auto;height: auto; }

Will update this note as we iron out any further conflicts.

Hi All,

I’m also struggling with this Collapsing Categories plugin and have the same issue. As you can see on my test site https://infernocity.com at the right bottom under Newslatter Widget there is empty Categories widget. Could you please tell me the reason of this and how it can be fixed ?

Same problem here. CSS fix is not working

Hello,

I see the widget heading in the sidebar–but no categories.

No matter which settings I change no categories appear.

This is on a WPMU site, could that be a part of the problem?

Thank you,

Chris

I am experiencing same issue. I have the title showing, but nothing else. When I click the debugging option in the widget, I am able to see the data in the page source. All of the categories and sub-categories are showing in the array, but none show on the page itself. It was working, then after a few updates.. it wasn’t, haven’t been able to determine why. Have deactivated all other plugins, no joy. Not really sure where to begin debugging. Any pointers?

Bump,

I have same problem. WP4.1 with Premium theme. The widget is there and the title shows, but having tried as many possible configurations of the widget setting, it’s still no show for the list.

I’ve disabled all plugins.

Update: when inspecting the sidebar with Firebug, the data is there but invisible. I can’t see any CSS setting which could cause this (display:none or visibility:none).

robfelty – could you let us all know if there’s a fix in the pipeline or should we look elsewhere for similar plugin? I have a client’s site project on hold until this is remedied.

Thanks

The CSS fix worked some of the way. It showed the categories and the ability to expand, but the collapse part isn’t visible. Any ideas?

I had a bug where main category went invisible after clicking on it.
This fixed all my bugs:

.collapsing {overflow: auto;height: auto; }
.widget_collapscat {overflow: auto;height: auto; }
.collapse {visibility:visible;display:inline;}
