Hmmm… it’s actually been quite awhile since I had to think about that. I think this will work.

Make sure the Show category is a root parent category. Meaning that it is not a child category/has no parent.

The categories you wish to display in the drop down need to be a child of a root parent. So, create a new root parent, the name is not important, but let’s call it Dropdown. Edit your categories and choose “Dropdown” as the parent.

The category hierarchy should be something like this:

• Show
• Dropdown
  • Category 1
    • Category 1a
  • Category 2
  • Category 3
  • So on…

Now change the shortcode to this:

[connections category=X enable_category_by_root_parent='TRUE']

Change the X in the above shortcode to be the category ID number for the “Dropdown” category.

Hope this helps! let me know.
