 * Hi,
 * I have several categories(custom taxonomy) that do not contain posts.
 * I wrote shotkod [wpb_category_accordion taxonomy = “**my_custom_taxonomy**” ‘
   orderby’ = ‘name’ ‘order’ = ‘ASC’ ‘show_count’ = ‘no’ **‘hide_empty’ = ‘no’**]
 * The empty category(custom taxonomy) is not visible. Why? What am I doing wrong?

 * It is because of typo in example shortcode.
    You must write properties without
   quotes (like taxonomy in your code) [wpb_category_accordion taxonomy=’my_custom_taxonomy’
   orderby=’name’ order=’ASC’ show_count=’no’ hide_empty=’no’]

 * You are right **polkan**.
 * Apply the shortcode as **polkan** mention.
 * Thanks
