Found the answer outside of www.remarpro.com.
Look for wp_list_categories in the sidebar.php theme file (line 54 in version 2.5.1) and either add hide_empty=0& to the beginning of the line or if it is present change the =1 to =0.\\
<?php wp_list_categories(‘hide_empty=0&show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>’); ?>
