Only 'Uncategorized' category showing up

  • I recently updated WordPress and the Category Post Widget. Now when I try to use the widget in the drop down box to select category I only see ‘Uncategorized’ when I have 6 different categories for my posts categories. Is there another update coming soon or what is the fix on this?
    Thanks

  • I have had the same issue. By default, the function which displays the dropdown of post categories hides categories that contain 0 posts. To change this, change:

    <?php wp_dropdown_categories( array( 'name' => $this->get_field_name("cat"), 'selected' => $instance["cat"] ) ); ?>

    to this:

    <?php wp_dropdown_categories( array( 'name' => $this->get_field_name("cat"), 'selected' => $instance["cat"], 'hide_empty' => false ) ); ?>

    in the cat-posts.php file.
