 * If Displayed as dropdown Categories, it does not work on a live page. I think
   it doesn’t link to the Category. (look at screenshot [https://ibb.co/kc8kmrC](https://ibb.co/kc8kmrC)}
 * If I chose Categories, it redirect on homepage.
 * Please help me, how to fix it?

 * Hi [@fileour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fileour/)
 * Are you using the default widget?
   Also, make sure there’s no custom filter for
   this in your functions.php-file.

 * hI [@kuckovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuckovic/) Thank for the response.
 * I am using the WordPress default widget. In this case, If I use the default Categories,
   it works fine.
 * But while adding dropdown Categories then going to the live page and if I select
   any Categories, it does not work.
 *  Here no custom filter for this in your functions.php-file. But I added for shortcut
   categories code such as below.
 * //Code for categories
   function genre( $atts, $content = null ) {Qglobal $post;
   $categories = get_the_category_list( ‘, ‘, ”, $post->ID );return ” . $categories.”;}
 * add_shortcode(“cg”, “genre”);
   //Code for categories
 * Please may help.
