dropdown text doest show up

Ah yes, I was able to reproduce your issue using Mac Safari 8.0.6, Mac Chrome 43.0.2357.124 (64-bit), and Mac Opera 30.0.1835.59 but not in Mac Firefox 38.0.5. That is, “Select Category” was clearly visible when using Mac Firefox but not with any of the other browsers mentioned. In other browsers, just the tops of “Select Category” could be seen at the bottom of the Category field. Note that once I clicked on the Category’s drop-down menu, while using all mentioned browsers, I could see all available selections. So, at least that part works!

I would suggest turning off all plugins to isolate your theme from any plugins that could be causing the issue. If, after deactivating all plugins, the issue persists then I would report the issue to your theme’s author:

Theme Name: Urban Bold
Theme Homepage: https://deucethemes.com/themes/urban-bold/
Author: Deuce Themes
Author Homepage: https://deucethemes.com/

If, on the other hand, the issue goes away when all plugins have been deactivated, then reactivate them one by one to see which one(s) are causing the issue. And, once you have this knowledge, be sure to report your findings to both your theme’s author (see above) as well as the plugin(s) author(s).

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot Randy.
I will let you know what happens after i deactivate the particular plugin.

Randy I just made the changes of deactivating all plugins but it was of no help for me. I use windows 8.1 and in google crome the problem is visible where as in mozilla firefox it wasn’t, few days ago I had built another demo site in where i inserted a form withdropdown list the same problem had arise
the below reply was given by her to help me solve my problem.
The problem with me is that i dont touch css to avoid errors as i dont have any good knowledge about it. i had given her admin access to my a/c and she could solve my error. Randy the below info was received by me for solving the error.She had mentioned that there is a problem with the theme itself.

The problem with dropdown style is caused by your website’s theme. The following code in style.min.css file removes the arrow:

select {
-webkit-appearance: none;
}

Please open style.min.css file and add:not([name^=”wdform_”]) to the CSS rule, so it looks like this:

select:not([name^=”wdform_”]) {
-webkit-appearance: none;
}

If you’ll have trouble doing this, please give us temporary FTP access to your site. We will make the necessary changes for you.

Oh yes, I figured the issue was with the theme. And, in particular, with the CSS of the theme. But I wanted to have you rule out any 3rd party plugin interventions before you reached out to the theme developer so they could fix it on their end. Then all you’d have to do is update the theme.

The issue with fixing it yourself (aka, hacking your current theme) is that when a theme update eventually comes out, you could end up wiping your fix and be back to square one. But, as long as the theme developer is aware of the bug then your fix mentioned above could be a good interim step. Especially if, for now, you create a child theme and then make all your modifications there. This way, all future theme updates won’t wipe away any of the things you have done.

More about child themes here:

It seems that this is a css bug, sorry for that.
For now, you can download Simple Custom CSS WordPress plugin(https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-custom-css/) then go to Appearance -> Custom CSS and add this code,
select{line-height:20px!important;}

Is there a particular line in which I should add this code as I dont have any idea about it I don’t want to mess up my theme so I am very protective about it. Please answer my query for the last time. And Randy what do u do I mean are you a user with some knowledge of wp or you are from any support team of wp.

I am a Software Test Engineer and work for Pongos Interactive who builds custom WordPress plugins, themes, etc. As for WordPress support, my employer takes giving back to the WordPress community seriously so she has me, whenever possible, jump in to the various forums here and help out. ??

Thats cool Randy. Can I have your email in case I need any help in future.

You are very welcome Fahad. As for my email address for help, I think it is a far better idea to do what you’ve done here for support. Ask the whole WordPress community for help. Then, you’ll get all kinds of helpful hints as compared to just me.

No problem

As amazon.com has filter to sort out products according to price or type,
