 * Hi, is there anyway to display a dropdown menu for categories on a page rather
   than the side please?

 * Hi [@caz1979](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caz1979/),
 * You would need to add a bit of code to your theme in order to add a drop-down
   for your categories outside of a widget area (sidebar). You can find the code
   to add at:
 * [https://gist.github.com/corsonr/6681929](https://gist.github.com/corsonr/6681929)
 * You can either add this to your theme’s functions.php file or even better would
   be to use the Code Snippets plugin and add it that way. Once it is on your site
   you can insert the category drop-down with this shortcode:
 *     ```
       [product_categories_dropdown]
       ```
