 * Hello, I want to include in a page all categories but that appears in dropdown
   list per category. Is it possible?
 * Thank you, best regards.

 * Just come across this post and had a thought (as i was trying to do this myself)
   could you not use this method to be able to select which category is displayed
   on the page?
 * dropdown menu gives variable
    get variable and pass into php php if statement
   based on variable – each if linked to a different version of this code you suggested
   in a different forum reply
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       echo do_shortcode( '[display_posts category="CATEGORY1"]' );
   
       $my_output = '[display_posts]';
       echo apply_filters( 'do_shortcode', $my_output );
       ```
   
 * let me know if you think it could work
