thanks

Set limit high enough. Let us know if that worked.

How would I display empty categories?

And then all you would do, would be to create a link to an empty page …

Or add a listing to the category, but then it is not empty anymore 🙂

a link to an empty category wouldn’t land on a blank page, it would land on a page with images and descriptions of the category (ie “selling it to them to list on it”)

then a call to action in the sidebar gets a new customer…

sort of wondering how I might ‘change the code’ to make my directories more competitive

the widget is a class and if copied/pasted and renamed correctly in functions.php can be duplicated and modified safely from updates.

The function in the widget that creates the html is: geodir_popular_post_category_output

You can copy that as well in your functions.php, rename it (both the function and the function call within the widget) and modify it to include empty categories.

I have quickly looked at the code to see if I can help with the customization, however it has proven quite difficult and I’m rasing my hands.

You will need to find someone with a higher level of coding skills than me, also because this goes beyond support.

Thanks
