Title: Category Dropdowns Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Category Dropdowns * [gemanshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemanshi/) * (@gemanshi) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-dropdowns/) * Hi, I’ve searched and read several posts on displaying drop down boxes with my categories in them. If I include the following into my code I get a drop down in my post form but ONLY “uncategorized” shows up. * * Is there something else I need to do? Am I even on the right track? I’ve added the categories I want in the Admin panel. If I missed something obvious, didn’t search thoroughly enough I apologize. * What I want is a dropdown with the categories in the post form to go along with the posts I write.

Any ideas why the categories I’ve made in the admin area don’t show up when I include the category widget in my sidebar? * [wesg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wesg/) * (@wesg) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-dropdowns/#post-746333) * That’s interesting, because I’ve been doing the same thing, and I can’t get uncategorized to show up in my drop down. I have all the others, but not this one.
