How Do You Create a Drop Down List in WordPress?

Creating a drop down list in WordPress is a fairly simple process. First, you will need to create a custom post type.

In the post type metabox, add a dropdown option for the list type.

function dropdown_list() { // create the dropdown list $options = array( ‘name’ => __(‘List Type’), ‘type’ => ‘dropdown’, ‘template’ => ”, ‘show_count’ => true, ‘show_name’ => true, ‘show_option_label’ => true, ‘disabled’ => false, ); // add the options to the dropdown list $options[‘name’] = __(‘List Name’); $options[‘type’] = ‘dropdown'; $options[‘template’] = ‘dropdown-item'; $options[‘show_count’] = true; $options[‘show_name’] = true; $options[‘show_option_label’] = true; $options[‘disabled’] = false; return $options; }
