WP Dropdown Posts Plugins
Sometime you want to display WordPress Posts list in a dropdown style just like WordPress Page does. Unfortunately this feature is not available in WordPress. But dont' worry guys, I have created a plugin for this purpose. WP Dropdown Posts will shows posts list in dropdown and if you click on an item, you will be redirected to that post.

WP Dropdown Posts Plugins
Nice plugin, man.
Thanks...
Hai,
Is it possible to choose / modify the number of characters in the Post title displayed in the dropdown box? I am working on a site for my friend, there some of teh posts have too lengthy characters, so the dropdown box exceeds the sidebar, so disturbs the whole layout.
Awaiting your fix on this issue
Regards,
Maheshwaran. I

Is there a way to filter the dropdown to a specific category? It currently shows all of my posts; I would like only x category to appear within the dropdown.
Please refer to my reply to Petr below
Thanks
Hi, nice plugin! Is is possible to filter posts and display posts only from category Countries? Thanks!
Thanks Petr,
try this
<?php
wp_dropdown_posts('cat=country&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=DESC&number=5');
//where 'country' is cat slug for Country category
?>
OR
<?php
wp_dropdown_posts('cat=10&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=DESC&number=5');
//where '10' is cat ID for Country category
?>
Hi there,
The addition of cat= does not work; it is just pulling the latest posts, and not filtering by category. Can you look into the cat= functionality?
Thanks.
