Hi, This is interesting. Just wanted to use this with
'hide_empty' => false,
So empty terms will also be part of of array.

One major thing if it is possible depth level of taxonomy? For example if i can show like tree. Right now we can't get depth level.
I need something like below tree

Level 0
-- Level 1
--- Level 2
---- Level 3
--- Level 2
---- Level 3
---- Level 3
-- Level 1
--- Level 2

Basically we have term "location" and wanted to show in checkbox but with depth level so we can style it.

Is it possible?

Thanks in adavance

Just add 'hide_empty' => false to line 18, like this:

$terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, array('parent' => $parent, 'hide_empty' => false) );

nice!
