    Hi,

    How can do to have a dropdown list in search section (On the left).
    Actually it is a free search, it is not possible to work like that. Because if I have for exemple 10 categories, the visitors has to know my categories to find what they want.

    So I need to do a dropdown list in search section.

    How can I do ?

    Thanks

    In the search section.

    I make it in attachment.

    In the right, the visitor write the location that he wants and in left wich categorie he wants.

    I want the left is a dropdown list.
    Or it is possible to delete it ?

    The search field cannot be changed to a dropdown.
    But you can add a category dropdown using the advanced search addon, see more at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/search-filters-overview/#filter

    See this page for an example of how it works: https://wpgeo.directory/

    The problem is that the visitor can fill the box I sent you.

    I need to block it.
    Because I don’t have too much categories. So, I just need to block this box.

    If I need to inser code, tell me please because it is very very important for me now.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    the only quick thing you can do there is to hide that field, you cannot turn it into a category selector without a customization and customization are beyond support.

    To hide it, add this to GeoDirectory >> Design >> Scripts >> Custom CSS.

    

    
.geodir-search input.search_text[type="text"] {
    display: none;
}
    

    Thanks

    Just a clarification too: the left field is not only to search categories but listings, and it will search titles, description and taxonomies (tags and categories) of the listings.
