  I have a number of categories – indian, fish, vegetarian, nonvegetarian. In the category cloud only india vegetarian comes up. How do you get the others into the cloud?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. New categories will only appear in the widget once you publish a post in that category. As soon as you publish a post in a new category or assign another category to one of your existing posts you’ll see it there.

  Hi!
  I have published a post in that category. I have 2 posts in 2 categories. Yet only one category is showing up.

  When you open the widget in Appearance ->Widgets, see if the box next to “Count sub-categories in parent” is checked.

  If that is checked it doesn’t show sub-categories, but increases the size of the parent category. Uncheck that box and see if they show up in the cloud now.

  Can you please try one last thing before we call in staff: Delete the widget completely and add a new one. Sometimes that does the trick.
