When clicked, the category drop down is turning into a search box. Any ideas about a solution?

The search box is supposed to be there, that makes the categories user searchable. The problem is that the theme is messing up the layout so you can not see the category list.

The first thing you need to try are the suggestions outline in this FAQ. My best guess at the moment is that if you go to the Connections : Settings admin page, Advanced tab. Under the Compatibility section, please check the Templates option and click the Save Changes button. That may fix this issue. If it does not, please let me know.

Thanks for the quick response. Checking the Templates option improved the display, but I still have the same problem with the drop-down.

I suppose I could just get rid of the category selector and code the categories as links at the top of the page.

Ok, it took quite a bit of searching but I found the issue. It is a style being set by the theme which is causing the issue. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

form#cn-cat-select br {
    display: none;
}
form#cn-cat-select {
    overflow: visible;
}

That should fix up the display and allow the categories options to be seen and selected.

Hope that helps!
