I think you misunderstand.
I'm talking about invoking wp_list_categories with the &arg array.
And I'm not talking posts, but pages.

Scrub all that.
There was a coding error on my part that must have lain dormant until the 6.0 upgrade. I'm sorry to have wasted your time.

I'm sorry to bother you, but what was the error in your code?
My wp_list_categories output also is broken after 6.0 update. Even get_terms ignoring 'child_of' parameter, despite the fact that I have set 'hide_empty' to false.

I'm not entirely certain to be honest, as I was using the ob_start() function incorrectly, which complicated things.
What seems to have fixed things though was changing the 'hide_empty' => 1, to 'hide_empty' => false.
Here's my working $args:
$atts = array( 'child_of' => $id, 'current_category' => 0, 'depth' => 0, 'echo' => 0, 'exclude' => '', 'exclude_tree' => '', 'feed' => '', 'feed_image' => '', 'feed_type' => '', 'hide_empty' => false, 'hide_title_if_empty' => false, 'hierarchical' => true, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'name', 'separator' => '', 'show_count' => 0, 'show_option_all' => '', 'show_option_none' => __( 'No categories' ), 'style' => 'list', 'taxonomy' => 'category', 'title_li' => '', 'use_desc_for_title' => 1, );
Hope that helps.

It looks like #55837 is the underlying issue here.
Hi @ericcorbett2 and welcome to trac!
I have tried to reproduce this problem but am unable to I am afraid.
wp_list_categories( ['child_of' => 2] );
is showing the category I have set up as a subcategory of category2
:By default
wp_list_categories()
will hide categories that do not contain any posts unless you include the argument'hide_empty' => false
.Are you able to confirm your child categories have posts or you have included above?
