WordPress 6.22BeaverBuilder Pro 2.7.0.5 I’ve spent a considerable amount of time
trying out different plugins that will give me a category dropdown with the option
to choose the categories for display, that would also work with BeaverBuilder / 
Beaver Themer. This one does the trick! It’s better than BB’s own Categories Widget,
and very stable. Great work!

I used it on a big project of mine with Woocommerce categories. It works perfectly,
it only needs an option for multiple childs selection. Hope it will be added with
an update.

Great customer service as well.
