Hmmm, I have to just be missing something because I swear there was a simple way to create a dropdown menu of GD categories. Something that did not show any items until clicked, and then expanded to list all included categories.

I tried using a GD > Categories widget and ticking the ‘Add CPT ajax select’ but that didn’t do anything.

Can you point me to where I can figure this out?

Thanks.

PS Using Elementor, if that matters.

Hi Mitch Canton,

Thanks for your post. Sorry, there isn’t an option that allows you to achieve what you needed there. Category dropdown is only available on the search form https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/design/gd_search/#guide .

No problem, I just thought there was that option. I can just create a new menu with only GD cats and use the Elementor nav widget to create. I had wanted to use a native GD option if it was available.

Thanks.

There are menu links and they are ‘smart’ – for all the categories (individually) – Kor and I were thinking you meant something very specific in a widget that would auto-show.

If you don’t see the category links check the screen options

Yeah, I just created a custom menu and added all the GD categories. Then placed it as a dropdown custom nav Elementor widget.

Accomplishes what I needed, I had just thought there was a specific GD menu nav function, but this works fine.

Thanks.
