    As the titles says, and also i want to know if there is a way to change the order of the categories instead of the default alphabetical order.

    Thank you!

    re: how to hide specific categories from drop down?

    If you are using cMap, you can use the exclude_category shortcode option. Or you could use the category shortcode option. Which you would use really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

    re: i want to know if there is a way to change the order of the categories instead of the default alphabetical order.

    The Custom Category Order extension allows you to define a custom order.

    Hope that helps!

    YOu might want to take a moment to read this. It’ll help when you work with shortcodes.

    To fix the issue you are seeing…

    Edit the page, switch the post editor to the Text tab.

    Delete any code and/or pre tags in and around the shortcode. You should take the opportunity to remove any other HTML tags that might be in the shortcode too. HTML tags break the WordPress shortcode parser.

    Hope that helps!

    I think you want to do this:

    [connections category='4' exclude_category='5,7,8']

    Hope that helps!
