Hi,
I want to add a Category dropdown to my search. I have done this without problems but Its in another <Div> below the main search,
Any way of having it in line with the other search boxes, e.g. Types -> Category -> Search For -> Near.

Thanks

Hi John,

Sorry, I’m not sure if I’m getting this. Do you mind sharing a screenshot of what you are trying to achieve? Or probably share your Website URL so we can have a better look at it? You can always make use of the private reply option below.

Thanks!

I’m just in the process of reinstalling a fresh version of GD and setting it up.
I had some problems (not sure why) but a new install should sort them out.

Anyway until I can get a screen shot to you what I want to do is to have a Category dropdown next to the text search field. it would follow this sequence – see image attached

I don’t want to have to have users chick another button (customize search) to select a category.

Thanks
J

Hi there, this would work properly, only for single post type.

paste this is your child theme
```
function gd_custom_search_category_dd(){ ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
            var content = jQuery('.cat_select').clone();
            jQuery('.showFilters').hide();
            jQuery( content ).insertBefore( jQuery( ".search_text" ) );
        });
    </script>
<?php }
add_action('wp_footer', 'gd_custom_search_category_dd');
```
