Hi there,

By default, WordPress hides categories with no posts. To change this, open post-form.php and change the following on line 273 from this...

<?php wp_dropdown_categories( 'show_option_none='.__('Select','themolitor').'&taxonomy=category&child_of='.$eventCat ); ?>

...to this...

<?php wp_dropdown_categories( 'hide_empty=0&show_option_none='.__('Select','themolitor').'&taxonomy=category&child_of='.$eventCat ); ?>

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

The event type category just says "please select" when you click the drop down no categories show up. I tried updating line 273 but that didn't work.
