   Hi, I'm using this to add a category drop down on my blog. How can I make the default value "Select Category". Right now the drop down just begins with my first category name once the site loads.

   <?php wp_dropdown_categories(); ?>

   Thanks in advance.

   The documentation on wp_dropdown_categories shows that you can add a parameter of show_option_all

   <?php
   	wp_dropdown_categories( array(
   		'show_option_all' => 'Select Category'
   	) );
   ?>

   So you can set that to "Select Category", which will return a value of 0 if it is left on that option.

   Hi,

   So you can set that to "Select Category", which will return a value of 0 if it is left on that option

   How to set the value of "Select Category" to a value other than 0?
   I tried setting 'selected' value, but still the "Select Category" returns the value 0.

   Please help me with this.
