I’m using your categories widget for my new blog and I think you have a bug in it. When you are showing categories as a drop down, with no hierarchy, the hide_empty option doesn’t work.

if (($currentcat != $category->cat_ID && $parent == $category->category_parent && (!$hide_empty || $category->category_count > 0)) || (!$hierarchical) ) {

Since I’m not using hierarchy, the last condition is always true, causing empty categories to show up. Did you mean to use ($hierarchical) instead of (!$hierarchical) ?

I have the opposite problem as michelle (which comment I realize was left almost a year ago, but this is the most recent update I’ve found.)

I need the dropdown list to be narrower so it will fit in my sidebar. Is there some simple code I can change on mine to get it to do this?

Otherwise, it’s great. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

eeeexcellent widget.

since i’m new this might be a fairly simple thing to answer–but is there anyway to make the drop down list wider?

some of my categories are cut off because they have more words than are allowed to show in the list.

thank you much for any help!
