re: I have tested the form in two browsers, and the category dropdown is not working

It seems something is conflicting but I am not able to tell. Can you please try both the plugin conflict test and theme conflict test?

re: Is there a way to add the form to another page using shortcode?

Are you planning on using Link to allow users to edit their own entries? If no, then yo can use the [connections_form] shortcode. That said, I only officially support the submit link above the directory for now.

Hope this helps, let me know the results of the conflict test.
