Maybe you can help. I have been losing my mind trying to find a way to put a dropdown menu on my secondary sidebar.

I’m currently using Custom Menu Widget but there is no dropdown option so all of my categories are lined up one under the other and taking up a whole page.

Any advice?? Every accordion widget I find originates from the Post page so I cannot put categories in it.

I know this isn’t in the scope of your theme but perhaps you know of some way?

Thank you sooooo much!!!

@Kim: Why it that? If you go to “Appearance => Widgets” and select Category Widget, you will see option to Check in “Show as dropdown”. See this https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/categories-widget/

Ok. Now I feel stupid! Thanks!!!

So, I reorganized my categories to work with the category dropdown and it works great but I’m having a trouble with the alignment since the left sidebar is thinner.

If you scroll down to Search by Treatment on the secondary sidebar vs how it looks on the footer.

Is there any css that can add space between the dropdown and the view box?

Thanks!!

@Kim: Sorry I don’t get it what you mean. I hope you meant that you want category select and view in same line. If so then you can add the following css in “Custom CSS” box:

.DisplayCategoriesWidget select {
    height: 30px;
    width: 70%;
}
.DisplayCategoriesWidget input[type="submit"] {
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 28%;
}
