Hi there!

My content increased alot in the last year, and now i have +100 categories! If my users klick on “Add Post” they get the hole category list with checkboxes to scroll down. As you can imagine this is really annoying for some of my users and very confusing too.

Ist it possible to replace the horizontal Checkbox list with a dropdown list? My users would have to scroll for ages no more!
(Something like this http://www.ambrosite.com/images/listcats.gif )

Edit: Edit: I managed to get a dropdown, so i am on the half way. I replaced “wp_category_checklist(0, 0, $selected);” with “wp_dropdown_categories(‘orderby=ID&order=ASC&hierarchical=1’);” . But when i choose a option from it i directs me to the category page. (post_form.php)

Thank you very much!

Hi,
Sorry for delay. Don’t change checkbox. Keep it. But adding some css you can make category panel fixed height and scrollable.

In category panel add following css,

height=200px;overflow:scroll;

Thanks.
