# [Plugin: WP User Frontend] Excluding categories from dropdown syntax

 * I’m trying to exclude a number of categories from the dropdown with the “Exclude
   category ID’s” option. I’m not sure what to put in here for each category (name,
   slug) and the syntax needed (comma separated, space separated).
 * If someone could share an example or point me to another topic that addresses
   this that would be awesome.
 * Thanks!

 * I have the same problem. Tried entering categories in lower (slug) & upper/lower
   formats. Separated by commas and singly – but nothing worked. A solution would
   be wonderful!

 * I’m using this effectively by putting the id of each category separated with 
   a space (no commas or anything). This is removing them from the dropdown list
   for me.
