[Plugin: Query Multiple Taxonomies] Dropdown Selected Option

That would mean that you don’t want the taxonomy name to be displayed before the <select>, as it is now, right?

That’s right. Output the taxonomy as the first option and not have it appear outside of the dropdown.

Open widget.php and replace this:

get_taxonomy( $taxonomy )->label . ': ' . scbForms::input( array(

with this:

scbForms::input( array(
  'text' => get_taxonomy( $taxonomy )->label,

That’s fabulous. Thanks so much!

Just to build on this question, how do I populate the first dropdown option with the first taxonomy tag?

As a concrete example, I have a dropdown for “City” taxonomy with 2 cities in it, Bangkok and Chiang Mai. I’d like Bangkok to appear as the default selected option.

It looks you’ve changed the plugin since you answered to jennygold. I don’t find the same exact line in the current version of the. Would you please help me out how to achieve the same efffect? Thanks.

I got the solution.

Go to widget.php, search for

.html( 'select', array( 'name' => qmt_get_query_var( $taxonomy ) ),
					'<option></option>'

(line 179 and 180 to me)

And change <option></option>’ to <option>My first option here</option>’
