 * hi,
 * Is there a way to replace the initial value by the current selected menu item?
   
   Example if user select “Cars”, it will be displayed instead of “Select page” 
   if he select “Moto”, it will be displayed instead of “Select page” etc…
 * Thanks in advance for your help

 * Hi [@chillmen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chillmen/),
 * yes there is such a function. If you add the widget, there is an option “Preselect
   the visited page in dropdown”. It isn’t perfect yet but you can try that. Let
   me know if it works 🙂
 * Kind regards,
