Description
Dynacat – Dynamic Category. Ideal for websites that feature a huge number of categories and sub categories for posts. When your website has many categories, selecting your required category from the drop-down selector can lead to tiresome scrolling – especially when the category you want to select is near the bottom of the list.
Dynacat takes away that problem by replacing the standard drop-down list selection with a dynamic search box. To select the category for your post, simply begin to type in the search box. As you type, a list of categories appears that matches your criteria. The list changes with each letter you type, before your chosen category is easy to select.
This is designed for sites with a large selection of categories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simply click the Category, it will become bold and will fill in the field with that value, then make sure you publish/update your post.
No, the plugin will search any part of the category’s name, for instance, to find ‘Steven’, you could start to type ‘even’ and it will appear in the list of potential matches.
This is exactly what this plugin was designed for. As you type, the categories appear with their parent categories, so you can easily select the correct category even when you have multiple categories of the same name.
