 * Hello.
 * I am currently using the code below.
    <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[searchandfilter
   fields=”search,category,post_tag” add_search_param=”1″ headings=”,Categories,
   Tags”]’ ); ?>
 * I have close to 240 categories in total and 5 of them are parent categories and
   I dont want to show all of them in the drop down.
 * Is there a way to only show the children of the current parent category????
 * Kind Regards.

 * Hey there – unfortunately this is not possible.
 * With the pro version we use comboboxes which may be more useful to you
 * ([http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/](http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/)) – 
   however all the categories will be listed – but it is easier with a search option
   to navigate the long lists.
 * Thanks
