    Just add the Categories widget on the widgets page. In wp-admin, click on appearance and select widgets. Then scroll down to categories and click add.

    Are the categories shown via a widget or sidebar code? If using sidebar code, can you paste that code here?

    <h2>Categories</h2>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1&hide_empty=1&hierarchical=1&exclude=,2&title_li='); ?>
    </ul>

    this is the code in sidebar.

    Replace the above code with the below and try again:

    <h2>Categories</h2>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1&hide_empty=1&hierarchical=1&exclude=2&title_li='); ?>
    </ul>

    Reason for it not working was a comma before 2 in exclude which said wordpress to exclude all categories. Removing the comma worked.
