Question

I am trying to display the categories with the get_terms function with the following code:

$categories = get_terms( 'category');
$categories_count = count($categories);

                    for ($i = 0; $i < $categories_count; $i++) {
                        echo($i . $categories[$i]->name.' <br /> ');
                    }

But for some reason doesnt display all the categories, a couple of them are missing uncategorized and something else, this is what I see on the screen when i run this code:

• 0 Chairs
• 1
• 2 Interiors
• 3
• 4 Featured

Thanks very much,

You can try get_categories() instead of get_terms(). This is how you should do it:

<?php 
    $categories = get_categories(); 
    $number = 1;
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
        print $number . $category->cat_name . '<br />';
        $number++;
    }
?>

Just give it a shot …
