 * Hello!
 * The plugin gets all the categories using the wp_dropdown_categories function.
   Can you tell me what issue you are seeing? Are there any errors you are seeing
   when you use the shortcode or the widget?
 * Thank you,
    Chandrika

 * Hello!
    Thanks for your reply, I don’t know how to use this plugin. I use wp_dropdown_categories
   but when I click the dropdown categories the subcategories are not showing. Where
   should you put your plugin code, any guide, the documentation never says about
   implementation.

 * Hi,
 * You can add the shortcode in your page where you want to display the category
   dropdown.
 * [wpcd_child_categories_dropdown] – this is the shortcode you will need to add
   to your page. If you need more information regarding adding shortcodes, you can
   refer to this page – [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/)
 * If you would like to display the categories in your sidebar, you can add the 
   category dropdown widget in your sidebar by going to Appearance->Widgets in your
   WordPress dashboard.
 * Here are a couple of links regarding adding widgets to your sidebars:

 * Hope this helps.
