# First Select Option Disabled

 * I checked out this page: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-a-select-type-field-no-option-selected-by-default/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-a-select-type-field-no-option-selected-by-default/)
   but I can’t get it to work. The example is a bit strange because with the select
   option, you need to fill out multiple fields instead of just insertin |Option
   |Option etc. I use the free plugin and if I select the type ‘Select’ option, 
   I can’t seem to get the first option to be the placeholder (as disabled).
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffirst-select-option-disabled%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Recently we have released a new version in which we have made some changes in
   the select field.
 * Inorder to achieve your requirement, you need to make the first option blank 
   and provide placeholder text as shown in the below screen-shot:

 * The **Option Value** is used to store values in the database and **Option Text**
   is used to display the details in the drop-down. Please note that the option 
   value should be unique.
 * Note: Please confirm that you are using the latest version of our plugin.
 * Thank you!
