GD categories widget no categories displayed

This still doesn’t make sense. Why is the visibility options “All categorized pages” or “uncategorized” (scr attached), surely you should be able to choose which categories are shown, or what exactly is the choice being offered here. The widget says “filtered by your choice” or am I missing something.

For example I have bars and shops as two seperate place categories. Some bars and shops will also be in a category “featured” businesses (as they pay more) I want to display the featured businesses in the sidebar.

This wouldn’t work with CPT as the only way would be to duplicate the lisitings I want to also feature and to have them in CPT Places and CPT featured.

2) for the menu in admin, sorry don’t know how I missed that and I’ve been missing that since I started a month ago and been making custom links to get around it, sometimes I’m dumb. Yes thanks I know I only have to categories filled as I’m trying to get my featured to show in the side bar and I’m stuck. Is there really no option to filter what gets shown?

Great thanks, for some reason the advance tab wasn’t displaying, if you see in my screenshot. I think its a problem at my end with my internet not loading all the elements so no worries. After refreshing the page I got it to appear. Thanks for your time and making the screenshots or I wouldn’t have figured it out. I just knew Geodirectory would have this option, just couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t find it. You saved me many more days banging my head against the keyboard, thanks for the great support.
