1. If you have created content items and assigned them to a category , you will get the message that the category is currently empty until you publish the content items.

2. If you have used a category item to include a description, HTML or other content directly into the category item, but don't have any content items within that category, you will see the notice that the category is currently empty.

If you want to edit that text, you can do this by opening the language file for your language and changing the default text. Go to the language directory, locate your language file (for eg. english.php) and find this code:

DEFINE('_EMPTY_CATEGORY','This Category is currently empty');

You can change the wording of 'This Category is currently empty' (or whatever it is in your language) to anything you like.

If you want to just remove that notice, change

DEFINE('_EMPTY_CATEGORY','This Category is currently empty');

to

 DEFINE('_EMPTY_CATEGORY','');

3. If your category has got content items in it, and you have checked that these are published , please post on the forums for more help.
