   Hi,

   I'd like to use this plugin to display the list of my categories in a dropdown menu rather than just in a list format. There is already a WordPress function to display categories in a default dropdown list (without icons) which is available from Codex:

   <?php wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=Choose...&show_count=1'); ?>

   Is it possible to alter the above function to display the icons in the dropdown list along with the text?

   Thanks in advance.

   Hi,

   it is possible but not simple. I've found a thread that talk about icons in dropdown menu : maybe that could be a start.

   I see. Thanks for pointing that out.
   Would come in even more handy if you could as well give me the URL to that thread you mentioned :)
   Appreciate your time.

   Sorry : http://www.talkphp.com/javascript-ajax-e4x/4011-dropdown-menu-icons.html

   I've tested it : it worked just under firefox. :(

   This was actually just some "fancy" feature I wanted on the website I'm working on, and since I didn't have that extra time to try to figure it out, I just went along and forgot about it. HOWEVER, I would love to know if anyone could figure out how to do it.

   Cheers.

   Hello there,
   Same problem here if anyone can figure it out.

   I find it odd that displaying a category menu with category icons in a widget is so difficult (as far as my google searches go) in wordpress.

   Thanks anyone for any pointers.
