Subcategories using list_cats

    Hello,
    I can’t get subcategories to show using the list_cats tag.
    <?php list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘desc’, ”, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, ”,”,”,”,”) ?>
    Other settings seem to work except children.
    I’ve tried using wp_lists_cats(children=”1″), but that doesn’t work either.

    Is there some sort of issue I’m not aware of?
    (I had previously set categories as children in the option settings, i t worked fine in wp1.2)

    and have read and followed instructions:
    wp_list_cats
    Styling lists with CSS
    Thanks!

    This is what I have, though the example has line breaks so you can see it better in this post:

    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name
    &optioncount=0&list=1&use_desc_for_title=1
    &child_of=4'); ?>
    </ul>

    This gives me a sorted list by name, without the count of posts in each category, shows it in a list, uses the description for title, and shows all the children of category 4.

    If you want specific children to show up, you have to list their categories, like child_of=4, 2, 16, 18. This might help you.

    I have a stupid question, but are your subcategories empty? Because that might be why they aren’t showing up.

    subcategories are not empty, they just show as if they were parent categories…
    I’m going to try out Lorelle’s sugestion see what happens…
