ho un problemino 
sul blog ho questo template:   themebot.com/website-templates/wordpress-themes/4002-august
ho cercato "wp_list_categories" nei template, ma mi compare solo nel file archive.php  e non in sidebar.php, dove invece è presente  "wp_list_cats"
un pò disperato, e sperando di non chiedere troppo... 
immaginatevi la situazione:
- categoria id 1
- subcat id 2
- subcat id 3
- categoria id 4
- subcat id 5
- subcat id 6 in pratica ho impostato categorie madri e figlie.
vi riporto qui di seguito i due template:

</div>
Mi sapreste esemplificare i cambiamenti che devo fare?
Le vs spiegazioni mi sono chiare, tuttavia si parla di una stringa in sidebar.php che invece mi ritrovo in archive.php e non so che fare...
E poi, una volta modificato il codice, dovrei togliere il widget category da admin, oppure si lascia... o si raddoppia 
beh... grazissime per l'aiuto!!!
