 * We get a line with the text “Warning/…/ wp-admin/admin-functions.php93” in the“
   Add new category” window under the dropdown “Category parent”. Does anyone have
   the same problem? What does this mean?
    Thanks for your help!

 * Which version of WP are you using ?
    Have you just installed ? Has this happened
   before ? Have you used this function before ?

 * Version 1.2.1, installed for the first time (3 days ago), warning appeared after
   deleting cat “general” and adding some new cats.
    The warning as to be seen in
   source view: Warning: Missing argument 1 for wp_dropdown_cats() in wp-admin/admin-
   functions.php on line 93

 * Yup, just fixed the problem by myself. Missing var line 273. No more help needed.
