# Dropdown title

 * I’m trying to use the widget_categories_dropdown_args filter to change the title
   of the dropdown category widget. I have this code in my functions.php:
 *     ```
       function ChangeSelectTitle($cat_args){
       $cat_args['show_option_none'] = __('Select Whatever');
       return $cat_args;
       }
       add_filter('widget_categories_dropdown_args', 'ChangeSelectTitle');
       ```
   
 * I set it up previously and I’m pretty sure it was working. Any ideas?
    Thanks

 * Sorry, just to be clearer – it’s not working, but I think it was working before.

 * Hi, [@beachmat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beachmat/).
 * Custom Post Type Widgets has its own hooks.
    [https://github.com/thingsym/custom-post-type-widgets#hooks](https://github.com/thingsym/custom-post-type-widgets#hooks)
 * You should switch to the `custom_post_type_widgets/categories/widget_categories_dropdown_args`
   hook.
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'custom_post_type_widgets/categories/widget_categories_dropdown_args', 'ChangeSelectTitle' );
       ```
