Display category on menu only when post(s) assigned in wordpress

Question

I'm implementing a wordpress website and there are lot of categories has been created on admin panel. But I don't want to display the categories in the menu which does not have any post assigned to them.

Is it possible to add a bit of code to hide the categories in the menu that don't have posts assigned to them? If yes, could anybody help me to get the solution?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If i understand your question correct you are trying to do something like this:

$args = array(
'hide_empty' => 1,
);
wp_list_categories( $args ); 

hide_empty will hide categories that has no posts attached to them.
