Categories Images

Categories Images is a WordPress plugin which allow you to add an image for each category (or term), it is so easy to user. This plugin will create a new text input that will had the image url of the category, in both forms when adding a new category or edit an existing one, you can put a url for the image or upload it bu click on the text input.

Installation:

  1. Open your wordpress admin panel, then plugins menu > Add New and search for ‘Categories Images’.
  2. Click to install.
  3. Once installed, activate and it is functional.

Or you can install in manual:

  1. Download the plugin from WordPress Plugins.
  2. Extract it, then upload the extracted folder ‘categories-images’ to ‘/wp-content/plugins/’.
  3. Go to your wordpress plugins menu, then activate it.
 
You are done! And the plugin is ready to use.
Usage and documentation:
after installing and activating the plugin, just use the following code:
Default usage:
use the following code in category or taxonomy template,put it in any <img /> tag :
<?php if (function_exists('z_taxonomy_image_url')) echo z_taxonomy_image_url(); ?>

or simply:

<?php if (function_exists('z_taxonomy_image')) z_taxonomy_image(); ?>
Difference between the two methods are as following:
  • z_taxonomy_image_url() return the taxonomy image url as a string so you can put it in any <img /> tag with support of the following parameters:
    • $term_id, the category or taxonomy ID, default NULL
    • $size, default ‘full’
    • $return_placeholder, default FALSE
  • z_taxonomy_image() return category or taxonomy image as html with support of the following parameters:
    • $term_id, the category or taxonomy ID, default NULL
    • $size, image size (check here for more about WordPress image resizing), default ‘full’
    • $attr, array of some html img tag attributes like: (default NULL) please check parameter $attr here
      • alt, default is the image file name
      • class, default is ‘attachment-$size’
      • height, default none
      • width, default none
      • title, default none
    • $echo, to enable or disable printing out the html, default TRUE.
Using inside a loop:
use the following code in anywhere at your wordpress theme, here is an example:
If  looping for categories:
<ul>
<?php foreach (get_categories() as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url($cat->term_id); ?>" />
<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->term_id); ?>"><?php echo $cat->cat_name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

or

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_categories() as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<?php z_taxonomy_image($cat->term_id); ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->term_id); ?>"><?php echo $cat->cat_name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

If looping for taxonomies:

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_terms('your_taxonomy') as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url($cat->term_id); ?>" />
<a href="<?php echo get_term_link($cat->slug, 'your_taxonomy'); ?>"><?php echo $cat->name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

or

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_terms('your_taxonomy') as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<?php z_taxonomy_image($cat->term_id); ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_term_link($cat->slug, 'your_taxonomy'); ?>"><?php echo $cat->name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

If your post had more than one category and you want to loop for all post categories use the following example:

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_the_category() as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url($cat->term_id); ?>" />
<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->term_id); ?>"><?php echo $cat->cat_name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

or

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_the_category() as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<?php z_taxonomy_image($cat->term_id); ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->term_id); ?>"><?php echo $cat->cat_name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

And if your post had more than one taxonomy and you want to loop for all post taxonomies use the following example:

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'your_taxonomy') as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url($cat->term_id); ?>" />
<a href="<?php echo get_term_link($cat->term_id, 'your_taxonomy'); ?>"><?php echo $cat->name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

or

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'your_taxonomy') as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<?php z_taxonomy_image($cat->term_id); ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_term_link($cat->term_id, 'your_taxonomy'); ?>"><?php echo $cat->name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

Using resizing feature:

To resize category image simply add the size as a second parameter, for example:
if in category or taxonomy template:

<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url(NULL, 'thumbnail'); ?>" />

or

<?php z_taxonomy_image(NULL, 'thumbnail'); ?>

or if inside a loop:

<ul>
<?php foreach (get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'your_taxonomy') as $cat) : ?>
<li>
<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url($cat->term_id, 'medium'); ?>" />
<a href="<?php echo get_term_link($cat->term_id, 'your_taxonomy'); ?>"><?php echo $cat->name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

you can choose to resize from these (thumbnail, medium, large, full) or any custom sizes, also you can use it as array with dimensions for example:

<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url(NULL, array(300, 250)); ?>" />

or

<?php z_taxonomy_image(NULL, array(300, 250)); ?>

Please check WordPress codex here for more information about resizing.

To display image with support for alt, class, width and height, you can do as this example:

<?php
$attr = array(
'class' => 'category_image',
'alt' => 'image alt',
'height' => 200,
'width' => 300,
'title' => 'category title',
);
z_taxonomy_image(NULL, 'full', $attr); ?>

if there were any bugs or you faced any problems please reply to this post, if I had more time I will update this plugin and add more features.

  1. How do you use it exactly? An example would be nice.

    If I want to loop through a list of categories and display the image, name, and link for each?

    1. Sorry for the late update I was busy the past few days, please re-check the post again I had updated it.

      1. yar maza agya apka plugin ka wish you good luck taxonomy term custom post type ka like this is best i have seen

    2. Dear friend,

      thanks for the plugin but I have a question. When i edit the category, I upload a photo from media library, everything is ok, but then its not shown in the website..any suggestions?

      1. I´m having the same problem. Please, could you help me? I’m not good enough with programming stuff

      2. I’m having the exact same problem. Please someone explain if they’ve found out a solution for this. I’m really overwhelmed and unsure about editing code.

    3. How do I show the image of the category next to (before or after) the category name on the Categories list on the homepage of my website.

      Thank you, Muhammad, for your cooperation,

  2. Hi, I have a doubt: I uploaded the image for a category, however, after that, I make click on “Insert in post” and nothing is added to “Image” field on the category edition screen. How do I have to upload an image within admin area?

    Thanks.

    1. I can’t guess what is the error in your case, but any way you can copy the uploaded image link and paste it into the image field, click on image field, copy the uploaded image link from your media library, close the upload box or press escape on the keyboard, then paste the copied link into image field.

      1. Hi, I’m having this problem as well. When I click on the image field, it does not allow for pasting anything and simply launches the media uploader, and when I choose an image or a url or upload an image from my computer, then hit the button that says use the image, the box closes but nothing appears in the image field. There is no way I can get an image URL to appear in that field. I’m on the latest version of WordPress. Any ideas?

        1. may be something wrong with your javascript, most the users had reported it works great with the last ver of wordpress, but anyway you can copy the image url manually and put it in image field, it will work fine

          1. Hi!
            I had the same problem just in case in media uploader I had the “link URL” field empty (before insert into post/category).

            If it’s not empty (the img url is visible in Link URL field), the plugin works perfectly.

            Thanks for tha awesome plugin!!

  3. Hi! great plugin!
    I’m trying to use your function to get the category image in single.php, I mean, I want to get the category image uploaded also inside a single post… but I can’t get it!

    Also in archive.php I’m using

    <img src="" alt="" />

    "other thing"


    It’s works great, but seems like the conditional it’snt working… when I haven’t image uploaded it’s showing a broken link image…

    Could you help me? Thanks a lot!!!

    1. ups! I wrote the code tag wrong… sorry…
      I wanted to say that the conditional is not working… always try to show an image…
      “if (function_exists(…”

      1. I’ve just found a solution, only valid if you are using only one category for post, like my case.

        <img src="term_id); ?>" />

    2. Thanks so much, hope your problem had been solved, if you want to list categories with images anywhere, you can use the loop method in documentation, and this will be useful if the post had more than 1 category.

      1. Hello Zahlan. I have installed the plugin and added an image to the Category “Agricultural Engineering” on / in the Business Directory plugin. http://everythingagricultural.com/business-direcotry/

        As you can view the thumb nail image 80×80 is not visible. I tested your plugin again on a newly added Category but the image is still not visible.

        I have seen the comment about the “loop” but I do not know where I should place the code and I am worried about updates breaking the code after I input the images.

  4. Thanks for plugin 🙂
    Can i aks u something? I have a problem: some of my posts have different categories (ex: cat1, cat2, cat3) but if i put your code into my template:

    appears only one icon, and not the icons of cat1, cat2, cat3
    how can i do?
    Thanks
    Alex

    1. Thanks, have you tried the loop method in the documentation above ? I think it will solve your problem. I had updated the post check the 3rd example.

  5. Thanks for the awesome plugin!

    I have a quick question:

    I am currently using the “looping for categories” code you provided (with a few minor changes). But I was wondering how would you go about excluding a category.

    Here’s a link to the test site that I’m working on. Note the little square above the True(ish) thumbnail, that’s the category I want to hide
    http://www.test.campallaccess.com/site1/category/messages/

    Thanks.

    1. Thanks, you can easily pass any arguments you want to get_categories() function, for example (as in your case) you want to exclude one or more categories:
      $args = array( ‘exclude’ => ‘1,2’ );
      as you noticed I had excluded category id 1 and category id 2, and then pass this array to get_categories() function like this:
      get_categories($args)
      btw, and you can use more arguments as explained in the wordpress codex here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_categories

      hope this would help 🙂

      1. For whatever reason I kept getting php errors… But it’s ok. I figured out another way that should actually work out better for my current setup.

        Thanks anyway!

  6. Is there some easier tutorial how to do it? I don’t know much of programing. I got lots of categories at my site.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. Ok no problem, just tell me exactly what do you want to display and I will try to help 🙂

      1. As I said before I got lots of categories and I would like to have one icon per each superior category. Please check out my site and let me know if that’s possible to do it.

        Thank you very much.

    2. Ok simply after downloading and activating the plugin, just use one of the 4 examples above like this way:

      – use the 1st if you want to get the category icon url in (category/taxonomy) template.
      – use the 2nd or 3rd examples if you want to get a list of all (categories/taxonomies) in any template.
      – use the 4th example in single template in case your post have more than one category and you want to list them.
      hope this would help.

  9. Do you have any plans to add a size selector using image size such as the thumbnail, or custom image sizes that are added?

    1. The main idea of this plugin was to make it so simple, but I like your idea, I will think of it 🙂
      Thanks so much

      1. Thanks. I was thinking on it last night and I think the easiest would be to expand the function that pulls the image like this…
        z_taxonomy_image_url($cat->term_id, 'thumbnail')
        As it is now, I’m hard coding the image size of the icon and using 3 different sizes for different displays.

      3. It`s great idae.
        Please – consider adding options to works with custom added (via add_image_size( ‘test’, 80, 80, true ); )

    2. currently you can change the category/taxonomy image size before inserting it to the image field while adding or editing any category/taxnonomy (I mean before pressing insert into post button). I had made it this way to let you even use outside link of the image, not just hosted images on your website.
      But ok, I will think of changing this to make it more flexible about getting the image url.
      Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂

  10. Hiya, could you show me how I can show just the child categories of a particular category. I basically have a main category lets say “Drinks” and under them have “Wines” “Fizzy” “Beer” etc and I just want to show the categories and images with those child categories.

    Thanks 🙂

    1. check this comment and replace $args = array( ‘exclude’ => ’1,2′ ); with this $args = array( ‘child_of’ => 1 ); as 1 is your parent category id (drinks in your case).

      1. Hi Zahlan, thanks for the reply but I’m having trouble. All the categories are still showing this is the code I am using could you take a look…

        9 );

        foreach (get_categories($args) as $cat) : ?>

        <img src="term_id); ?>" />
        <a href="term_id); ?>">cat_name; ?>

        1. For some reason the code didn’t format (I did wrap in tags. Anyway I have put it on pastebin if you can have a look for me.

          http://pastebin.com/YFqgdxUi

  11. Hi, Thanks for the great plugin.

    I have installed it and added a few images for my custom taxonomy.

    Displaying the images and name of taxonomy entry is a challenge. Please help me.

    Tha code in my page template is as follows.


    term_id);
    echo get_term_link($cat->slug, 'store');
    echo $cat->name;
    }

    get_footer();

    ?>

    Thank you

    1. Thanks Bahaa 🙂
      Simply use the last example in the documentation and it will work fine if you use the default wordpress loop.
      In case you are using another loop (like using get_posts and foreach) pass the post_id to the function get_the_category and it will work fine.

      Hope this would help 🙂

  13. Hi Zahlan,

    thanks for this plugin! now I have a little problem. I have two taxonomies that use some terms with the same name. now when I call z_taxonomy_image_url() with $term->term_id I get the same image for both terms called “hogan” which are in two different taxonomies. I tried changing the slug of one term but it still uses the last defined image on either of the terms.

    any help greatly appreciated!

    1. Thanks so much.
      I think using a different slugs for each one will solve this problem, but let me check again to make sure there are no bugs here, wait for my reply.

  14. Can the image field be displayed within a view, using the Views plugin? I’m not able to select the image field as a custom field, nor does the PHP code work. Any advice would help.

    Thanks for the plugin!

    1. Thanks, wordpress categories does not have custom fields, only posts or pages that supports custom fields if that what you asked for, I’m using wordpress options to save each category or taxonomy image in my plugin.

    1. Thanks, I’m not using shortcodes in my plugin yet, put thanks so much, I will update the plugin soon 🙂

  16. Sorry if I am brain dead here. I have the plug in working but on the single page of the post the category image does not show… help!

  17. I’ve tried and tried to made this work, but I can’t call the image in my template. Please let me know how I can make it show in this:

    PAGE)): ?>
    ITEMS; ?>

    CATEGORY); ?>

    <div class="dt-onethird">
    name; ?>

     

    $pagination,
    'tax_query' => array(
    array(
    'taxonomy' => 'portfolio',
    'field' => 'id',
    'terms' => $portfolio_id
    )
    ),
    'paged' => $paged
    );
    ?>

    1. no problem I will try to help you, I just need the code as you can see it is not completed here in the comment, so if you don’t mind upload it to Dropbox or any other website like that.

  19. Hi Zahlan,

    Thanks for making the best categories images plugin available, I’ve got it working great with my standard posts, however I’m having trouble using it with my Custom Post Type. I want to list all the categories for my type ‘product’ with their respective pictures, and I can’t seem to do so with any of the examples above. I’m a bit of a WordPress noob and not used to get_categories, which doesn’t allow me to use post_type to name my custom post type – could you explain/post the code for how to do this?

    Many thanks

    1. Thanks so much, yes exactly you can’t use get_categories while you need categories of a custom post, so you can use the 3rd example in the documentation and don’t forget to change ‘your_taxonomy’ with the taxonomy name that you register with your custom post.

  20. This plugin looks great. One question: How can I load the image in the header.php (outside loop) for the category “page”, I think it is called category archive page. Can you provide a php example ? Thanks!

    1. you can use is_category() function in the header to check if you are in category template or not, like this example:

      ?>

  21. Hi Zahlan!

    Thanks for the PlugIn! It works great!

    I just wonder if there’s a way of putting category description to that.

    Best regards,
    /Jennie

    1. Thanks so mcuh, getting the category description is not related to the plugin at all 🙂 but I can help you, just tell me where to put the description I mean which template ??

      1. Hi Zahlan,

        I would really appreciate your help. It’s for the index.php template and I am making a horizontal list of categories with title, image and description underneath.

        Here’s the code:

        cat_name; ?>

        <a href="term_id); ?>”><img src="term_id); ?>” />

        Unfortunatly it doesn’t work. I wont show the description.

        Thanks!
        Best regards,
        /Jennie

        1. Hi again,

          Seems as if most of the code was cut of. Here’s a new try:

          cat_name; ?>

          <a href="term_id); ?>”><img src="term_id); ?>” />

    2. ok I had seen your code, simply change “echo category_description();” to “echo $cat->description;”
      may this fix your problem.

  23. Hey Mr Zahlan,

    first things first: I love the plug-in. Awesome job.

    But I have a problem. By now, I have a category for “featured” posts to put certain posts in a special position in the blog. i don’t want these categories to appear as category images so I just gave them a 1x1px transparent image which, of course, kills my layout (in a way).

    Is there a way to exclude certain categories from showing up as images?
    Not giving them an image at all is not an option since some browsers still show the (X) “image not found”-thingy.

    Thanks for your help!
    Joe

    1. Simply you can assign the result to a variable and check if this variable is empty or not, check this code:
      term_id);
      if (!empty($cat_image)) :
      ?>
      // your category image

  24. hello,

    This plugin is great! but i only have a question.

    How i can show only the taxonomy images of the post?
    namely I have for example: taxonomy -> Social Networks. and i would like show in the entry or profile the social network(taxonomy images) of this person.
    Expample:
    Name: John Brad
    Social Network: facebook(image) | Twitter(image)
    Descrption: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Ok, so i have more social networks: digg, twenty, etc… in the taxonomies, but I just want to show the of that profile

    Sorry for my english!

      1. I created a new custom theme, and i have it in my localhost, not is online…Only i need know if i can use other system without foreach for that only show the taxonomies for the post, no all of taxonomies. I use this:

        <a href="slug, ‘socialnetworks’); ?>”>
        <img src="term_id); ?>” />

        But this print me all the taxonomies son and i only want show the profile taxonomies.

        Understand? sorry I dont write and speak good english

      2. ok I’m sorry I think I got you wrong, ok let us simply use the 2nd example in for loop method in the documentation, all you have to do is change get_terms(‘your_taxonomy’) to get_terms(‘your_taxonomy’, array(‘parent’ => 0))
        This code means that you want to loop for parent taxonomies only (looping for the top level taxonomies), I’m sure this will fix your problem.

        1. Hi… I’m using this in my project on taxonomy-productcategory.php so that I can show the subcategories of the parent terms. I have got it to work by hardcoding foreach (get_terms('productcategory', array('parent' => 6)) as $cat) : and it will show me all subcategories, but I need to code it so that it picks up what category page it’s on dynamically. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

    1. Thanks for enhancing my plugin 🙂 but let me explain something, the reason I use the full image url to not force the user to host the image at his blog, he can use any url from anywhere, also I’m using it to let him easily can use any re-sizing image tools like timthumb.
      I had also check the code, it will only work in case you have a taxonomy called ‘package_cat’ because you had disabled my foreach 🙂 so by default the plugin after your modifications won’t work, I think you should test it on a new wordpress installation. Thanks again 🙂

  26. Pingback: Categories images plugin modified to save image ID | Ed Townend

  27. What code shall I use if I have multiple categories? Actually this is not a post category. It’s a listing category. I tried the code above but it did not work.

      1. I have the same problem, I want to show in my page a list of categories with images. If you can help me please. I think your plugin is awesome 🙂

    2. Great, then use the last example above, put it anywhere at your single.php tempalte.
      And if you where using taxonomies (not categories) replace the function get_the_category(); with the function get_the_terms( $id, $taxonomy ); where $id is the post_id and $taxonomy is your taxonomy. I will update the documentation and add another example for that, Thanks.

  29. Hi, how to add external link for this image? Example: in my template i put this: <a href="term_id); ?>"><img src="" alt="" />
    But on <a href="term_id); ?>"> link to category, I want this category image link to external link. Example: category image “Best Buy” link’s to “www.bestbuy.com”. How?

    1. simply in the ‘href’ attribute just don’t use the php code to get the category link and put your link

      1. I’m using this code:

        <img src="”/>

        to pull in the images for the different category and I would like all the images to have different external links. How would I do that?

  30. Hey Zahlan, I was wandering if was possible to use a resize command when calling the category image, this way I only need 1 higher quality image which can then be resized to make the smaller thumbnail versions as well. If this isn’t possible how can I have 2 image fields per category.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Hey, Thanks for using my plugin.
      The current ver of the plugin does not support image resizing so I recommend to you to use TimThumb plugin, you can upload a high quality image and use the Timthumb plugin easily to resize it while displaying it 🙂

  31. Hi – Nicely done plugin. I was using it fine and then I changed the folder structure so that all images are stored in the same folder (not organized by date) and this seems to have broken it. Unfortunately I am have to use that folder structure. Is there a way around this? Cheers,

    1. Unfortunately if you change the upload folder structure won’t display images because the image full path is stored as the image filed value, so you have to maintain the upload folder structure or you have to change all categories images to the new structure

  32. dear zahlan!
    i think I like your plugin, but don´t know now how to use it properly. I want to replace the two categories in the left sidebar with one image each. but i don´t know where to put that code exactly to achieve that.

    it would be great if you would just have a quick look at my site!

    thank you very much!
    Steffi

    1. Thanks, you can do that by passing some $args to the function get_categories($args) and you can find more about how to do that in the WordPress codex here

  35. Dear Zahlan,
    Yes, I have tried the one you told me, but it gave me an error.
    I was putting it in the functions.php at the end, but am not sure where to put exactly. I´m not familiar with php coding, have read a bit about it but its very hard to learn within some days…. 😉

    I appreciate for your help very much!
    Steffi

    1. It’s Ok, no problem, 1st you shouldn’t put my example at your functions.php you should put it inside your theme, for example if you want to list categories in sidebar or something like that, use the 1st loop example and put it into sidebar.php or if you want to list categories in home put the code into index.php

      try this and tell me if you got what you need

  36. Dear Zahlan!
    I would like to show you my sidebar.php
    I´m using a 3 column layout but want to show the images in the woocommerce sidebar, maybe thats useful information for you. here´s my code:

    ‘monthly’ ) ); ?>


    <img src="term_id); ?>” />
    <a href="term_id); ?>”>cat_name; ?>

    now, where I was putting it, it´s not doing anything.
    I feel already bad to post again, but would love to use your plugin!

    So thankful for your help!

    Greetings
    Steffi

  38. Hi Zahlan,

    First of all. Thanks for the simple but great plugin. I’ve got just one advice. If you’d change line 29 in categories-images.php form “wp_enqueue_script(‘thickbox’);” to “wp_enqueue_script(‘thickbox’); wp_enqueue_script(‘media-upload’);” the “Choose Image” popup will resize itself to fit the screen.

    Greets.
    Milan

    1. Thanks so much for your advice, but the current version of the plugin already do what you said 🙂
      I didn’t notice any problems!

  39. Dear Zahlan!
    Any news about my code? Still want to use your plugin! I hope you can read the code!

    thank you very much for your help!
    greetings
    Steffi

    1. Really sorry for my late reply.
      I had checked your code, you are using the sidebar.php and my example should work normally, please tell me exactly what happened when you put my code ?

  40. Hi Zahlan,

    Is there a way to set a default image for any category that does not have an image assigned? I am creating a related posts widget and need to have an “image not available” type image display.

    Thanks for your work on this plugin,
    Amy

  41. dear Zahlan!
    actually nothing is happening when I put your code. I can see the image-uploader in the categories and have already put an image. but in the frontend on the page itself the image is not shown.
    what am I doing wrong?

    greetings
    Steffi

    1. try to move the example code into the category template, and make sure that the categories you are want to display chosen in some posts

  42. hi i have installed the Categories Images plugin and used the code

    term_id); ?>
    <a href="term_id); ?>”>cat_name; ?>

    its displaying the category name and link but the image is not display its leaving blank plz help me

    1. make sure that you have added an image to this category from the admin panel 1st and the value of the image field has the url of this image.

    1. Thanks so much, simply replace wp_list_categories(‘depth=1’) with get_categories(array(‘parent’ => 0))
      btw the wordpress function wp_list_categories() already output(echo) data so you can’t use it inside a loop.

  58. Hello,

    First of all I gotta say what an amazing and wonderful plugin you developed here. Thank you so much! However the issue I’ve run into now is that it seems taxonomy images aren’t working for IE6 users. I know that most people are no longer using it, however my client still has a significant number of those users and he can’t drop them.

    Is there any possibility of making some small modifications to the code so that IE6 users can also view the images? IE7 works fine it seems.

    Thank You and a great plugin once again!

      1. Hi Zahlan,

        I tried again on IE7 and actually it doesn’t seem to work either. IE8 works but not 6 or 7. When I view it on IE7 for a second or two the images are displayed, however after that nothing, they disappear. Is there anyway to get this to work?

        Thanks

          1. I disabled all CSS and unnecessary HTML elements and the problem still persists. The images no matter what won’t show up. This is really problematic in that the client really wants IE7 users to be able to view the site. Is there no other way for you to try and test this?

            I’m willing to make a donation or pay per hour if you could resolve this issue, just send me your paypal details.

            Thanks so much!

  59. Hello everybody. Thank you Zahlan for such a useful plugin! I use this categories-images plugin on all of my WordPress projects.

    Just wanted to share this note with people using this plugin and the WooCommerce plugin together. Because WooCommerce uses the same button id names “update_image_button” and “remove_image_button”, adding product category images to WooCommerce categories breaks, and neither plugin works for these product categories (taxonomy).

    The simple fix for me was to rename these 2 buttons in your plugin to something else, like “update_img_button” and “remove_img_button” so that the jQuery code works and does not conflict with WooCommerce Product Categories. Of course I could update the WooCommerce plugin, but since this plugin is so much lighter and easier to manage, I chose to update this plugin instead.

    Perhaps in the future, this plugin could rename these 2 button ids/names so that it works with WooCommerce automatically. Of course this is up to the plugin author, Zahlan.

    Thanks again! — Marty McGee

    1. Since my plugin in newer than WooCommerce plugin, so I had updated mine to avoid conflicting. Thanks Marty McGee.

      1. This is a great plugin. It is really simple to use and lightweight.

        I was also having some issues with Woocommerce since it has it’s own built in taxonomy image control for product_cats. I found a way to turn off the category image for product cats only by removing the actions and filters for category images for that taxonomy only. This is what I used in my theme functions:

        // remove the other category image plugin by Zahlan when in the admin for woocommerce
        add_action(‘admin_init’, ‘undo_z_init’, 999);
        function undo_z_init() {
        $z_taxonomies = array(‘product_cat’,’product_class’); // add any taxonomies you want to omit for category_images plugin
        if (is_array($z_taxonomies)) {
        foreach ($z_taxonomies as $z_taxonomy ) {
        remove_action($z_taxonomy.’_add_form_fields’, ‘z_add_texonomy_field’);
        remove_action($z_taxonomy.’_edit_form_fields’, ‘z_edit_texonomy_field’);
        remove_filter( ‘manage_edit-‘ . $z_taxonomy . ‘_columns’, ‘z_taxonomy_columns’ );
        remove_filter( ‘manage_’ . $z_taxonomy . ‘_custom_column’, ‘z_taxonomy_column’, 10, 3 );
        }
        }
        }

  66. Hello, Zahlan. Firstly, I must thank you for this plugin of yours. It was truly what I was looking for! I successfully posted a list with the images, titles and descriptions on a page so my visitors have an idea of what I blog about.

    Unfortunately, there is something I seem unable to do and I could use your help – please note this is not directly related to your plugin, meaning its functioning, so you are free to neglect me any help on the following: I would like to have an image of the proper category appearing next to the post title. Saturday, when I started my blog, everything seemed fine> I used your plugin on both the index and single files and styled it a bit and the category image appeared successfully. However, today when I was doing the list for all categories, I made a new testing post just to see how it worked: the list is working fine but as you should expect, now the icons for the two categories I have are appearing on both my posts.

    Is there any chance to make ONLY the correct category image appear within a post? I know that it is possible to show the category images on posts but I am perfectly ignorant as to do it with your plugin, or even if that-s ‘workable’.

    The address in question is http://blog.wizard-wheezes.org, not the main website listed on this comment form.

    Thank you again for sharing this plugin with us and thank you also for your much awaited reply (or of any other user currently reading this message).

    1. Yes, you can do that by using the ‘order’ parameter, for example:
      ‘desc’)); ?>

      Please check the WordPress Codex for more parameter and examples.

      Thanks.

  69. Hi Zahlan,
    Grt work buddy, but I need more of ur help :P, the thing is, i want to show the sub categories of the parent category i clicked, any help regarding this

    Thanks in advance

    1. Thanks so much.

      Please check this comment and for sure you will have to use the parameter ‘child_of’ for the current category id.

  70. I can not show the image on the home, see the expression

    $return_html .=”;
    (here like to have a condition if the posting has not show the thumbnail category)
    $return_html .= (!empty($val[‘image’])) ? ”.$val[‘image’].” : ”;
    $return_html .= (!empty($val[‘title’])) ? ‘‘.$val[‘title’].’‘ : ”;
    $return_html .=”;

    1. You are using the plugin function in a custom loop, so all you have to do is to pass the category_id to the function, for example: z_taxonomy_image_url($cat_id) as $cat_id is the category_id of the post in your loop.

  73. Hello I just installed the plugin and was happy it worked I was able to upload my pic to category (I want to have a feature image at top – I only have one category for posts for my site with no subcategories) the thumb shows in the edit mode but there is no picture in the actual category. I then added your fist code at the top here and I now get just the text path to the image and its not a link just the text. NOTE: I have the gonzo theme and for categories it has a line divider with a label title saying “your browsing x category” I did not want this so I deleted the code in the category template successfully here is the top portion of the file as well I will mark where I deleted code and what that code was. Also please let me know exactly what to input and where as I do not know this stuff well thanks!

    ADDED YOUR CODE HERE AS WELL AS ON DIFFERENT LINES SAME OUTCOME

    REMOVED THIS “name);?>” TO HERE

    <?php // Determine whether to use a preset blog style or echo content (with shortcodes)

    $category_blog_style = get_tax_meta($category_ID,'omc_blog_style');

    1. All you have to do is to put this path into a tag img, if you notice in the second example above I put the return of z_taxonomy_image_url() into an img tag

    I think I’ve found a bug. When you use Editor role you can’t upload images, the path is not copied in the Upload text box after clicking Insert Into Post on the Media popup. Using a custom taxonomy and post type.

    The only thing i have been searching to do but didnt found anything.

    So is there a way to get the image by defining the custom width ?

    <img src="" />

    How would I make this work for tags? I’ve tried all of the examples above, but it doesn’t seem to work without using it within the loop.

    but i have a issue with this.
    in my theme showing main catgory image for the subcategory also. why??

  116. A useful plugin. Thank you.

    Like others, I had the need for using different image sizes with the plugin, so I have made some modifications to your original code to store the attachment id (as is done with post thumbnails) instead.

    This then allows you to use inbuilt WordPress functions to get the image at the required size.

    Let me if you’d like me to send you my changes.

    I have a custom built Library for my podcast and your plugin looked like the perfect addition.

    I couldn’t use the whole code you put above as most of it was already used in the custom code, but I did find the “right” place to put the img src tag… and it’s showing placeholder images but not the real images.

    The images ARE loaded, however, when I look at the Categories listing in the dashboard.

    Thank you so much for the plugin and your help!

  122. Hi, I want to display Name of Parent Taxonomy & Below it thumbnails of Sub-taxonomies. I am not getting how to do it. Can you please help me?

  123. I am using wordpress 3.8. The code for “If looping for categories:” works fine but the other codes are not working. Is there any compatibility issue with 3.8 (may be by usage of get_terms, get_the_category, get_the_terms in later codes)?

  124. This comment will help others just like the trick helped me.

    I was struggling with wp_list_categories(), i wanted to show child category image with a list of child category names, so this plugin helped me with to set category image for all category and sub category but i was unable to show image in the front end. I solved this by editing the file category-template.php in wp-includes which is a core file and engine to wp_list_categories.

    I changed

    function start_el( &$output, $category, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0 ) {
    extract($args);

    $cat_name = esc_attr( $category->name );
    $cat_name = apply_filters( ‘list_cats’, $cat_name, $category );
    $link =
    ‘term_id) .'” /> –<<<—- added the plugin line ——–

    description) )
    $link .= ‘title=”‘ . esc_attr( sprintf(__( ‘View all posts filed under %s’ ), $cat_name) ) . ‘”‘;
    else
    $link .= ‘title=”‘ . esc_attr( strip_tags( apply_filters( ‘category_description’, $category->description, $category ) ) ) . ‘”‘;
    $link .= ‘>’;
    $link .= $cat_name . ‘    ‘;

    .
    .
    .
    .

    So i got:

    2 wheel

  136. Hi, and thanks for this great plugin!
    But, I have one question…how to use this plugin with wp_list_categories function? I’m using this function to list categories hierarchically. I want insert image inside the ( li ) tag, before link (not in link).
    My idea is in category page display only subcategories of current categry and it’s subcategories in the same ( li ) tag (hierarchically)…that’s why I need the wp_list_categories function.
    But I dont know how to customize wp_list_categories output, to insert in ( li ) tags a image.
    I hope someone will be able to help me or at least give an indication of which direction to dig.

    1. at the moment I using this code to display only subcategories of current category in category page…

      ‘id’,
      ‘child_of’ => $current_term->term_id,
      ‘taxonomy’ => $current_term->taxonomy,
      ‘hide_empty’ => 0,
      ‘hierarchical’ => true,
      ‘depth’ => 2,
      ‘title_li’ => ”
      )); ?>

  137. Hi Thanks for the great plugin.

    I am trying to create a pagination for the categories on homepage. how can i do this?

    After some digging i found out that it works even better with the plugin Post Tags and Categories for Pages

    I wanted to have different pictures like small headers in my category title section on each page. So i used Categories for Pages to add your code with a small adjustment <img src="term_id); ?>" /> So that each page has his own picture. I really liked that my idea worked out. Im not much of a programmer though each day im getting better more and more.

  198. Hi Zahlan – I could use some help with customizing your template code to work with a specific template loop.

    I have a Custom Post Type and Custom Taxonomy registered for it. The taxonomy is hierarchical but only so that it appears and is used/checked as a ‘category’ not as a Tag, but there are only ‘parent’ level categories – no child categories. Each custom post has a (custom) category checked, and each custom category has an image assigned to it.

    However the template page where I want to display the appropriate category image next to each Post is using a custom query that I cannot modify (it’s provided by a plugin and the query is in the plugin’s functions somewhere) and using the “foreach” just is not working. The query is done behind the scenes, but the template uses the “while have posts” loop.

    If I put the “foreach” statement above the “while”, it displays the same category image for each post (the image assigned to the first category ID) and if I put the “foreach” statement below the “while” then it displays an image next to each post that is NOT the appropriate assigned image for the category of the post, interestingly it displays the images in order of their ID number (so for the first post in the list it displays the image assigned to the first category ID, even though that is not the category ID of the post, for the second post it displays the category image assigned to the second category ID, again even though that is not the category of the Post….and so on).

    Here is my code:
    have_posts() )
    {
    ?>
    Found found_posts; ?> Results

    have_posts())
    {
    $query->the_post();
    ?>

    <img src="term_id); ?>" width="135" height="135" class="alignleft" />
    (the rest of my stuff here)

    Can you help me with this?

    1. Sorry, your comments template cut out most of my code – I will try using backticks since the standard code tag didn’t work:

      `have_posts() )
      {
      ?>
      Found found_posts; ?> Results

      have_posts())
      {
      $query->the_post();
      ?>

      <img src="term_id); ?>” width=”135″ height=”135″ class=”alignleft” />
      (the rest of my stuff here)

    On the next release, could you insert the following 5 lines of code between lines 180 & 181? Then if the current page isn’t a straight-forward category or taxonomy archive it will instead work with the categories associated with that page. It’d be particularly useful when themeing pages depending on their category.

    $page_id = get_queried_object_id();
    $categories = get_the_category($page_id);

I tried your taxonomy wise example. But it’s not working for me. If there are any example for displaying images using term_id?

    Please help me..
    Thanks

  247. Hi. It’s a nice plugin. Just notice that the image is not being resized in the backend. A user uploaded a 18MB picture and it’s being loaded like so in the backend. And that’s takes a lot of time.

    So, when displaying the image in the backend you should use the “medium” size.

    Regards.

  248. Hello,

    I’ve tried everything I know and every combination and pasting ”
    on the tag.php file doesn’t display the featured image that particular tag.

    The foreach solution only lists tags and its images, which is not what I’m trying to accomplish. What I’m trying to do is to upload an image to a post_tag (e.g., website.com/tag/car) and display only the image upload to the tag “car” when someone visits the website.com/tag/car link.

    I’m just trying to implement a background image for tags (post_tag).

    Is there any way to do this?

  253. Thanks for a really useful plugin, it works great once I tried a few things ;).

    For others information, if it helps: I set up a custom post function (child_cat_hub) in child functions.php to run this, and then call it from the template. It may not be the best code, but it works. See below for the basics of what I did.

    function child_cat_hub() {
    //this function calls the url generated by Taxonomy images plugin!
    //assign the course child categories you wish to display, using ID as in below
    foreach (get_categories(‘include=1,2,3,4’) as $cat) :
    echo (”);
    echo (‘term_id); // this calls the url link to the category archive page
    echo (‘”>’);
    echo $cat->cat_name; //this is the category name which prints out.
    if (function_exists(‘z_taxonomy_image_url’)); // this checks if there is an image url to call
    echo (‘term_id, ‘wp-add-image-size-name-here); //this calls the image url, and the WP add_image_size name if you add it like this
    echo (‘” />’);
    echo(‘    ‘);
    echo (”);
    endforeach;
    } //end of child_cat_hub

    Remember you need to assign images to the categories otherwise this won’t work!

I have 8 options and 3 icons (more than one type share a single icon). The NAME is used for searches and post creation, but I want icon to show instead.

  281. Hi, That’s amazing ! Thanks !

    I’m using this loop to display all category images -which work like a charm:

    <img src="term_id); ?>” />
    <a href="term_id); ?>”>cat_name; ?>

    I would like to exclude the current category images . . . is there a way to achieve this ?

    1. Hi,
      I’d like to know too how to do it:)
      What I need is to show one category image (if exist) and that will link to the category page.

      Thanks!

      1. there are several WP core functions for categories like
        get_cat_ID();
        get_categories();
        $cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
        $wp_query->query_vars[‘cat’];

        depends if you are on a category page or on a single page or/and in a loop…
        best to check the output with var_dump(…) and then see which values in the object/array matches.
        from there you can work backwards, checking the current category ID -> check of there is an image (!empty….) and retrieve the category slug from matching the ID with one of the WP cat functions
        same with the question above: check the current cat ID and is this as the reference to exclude the image

  282. BUG:
    I guess there is a bug using the ‘thumbnail’ url. When having same images for different categories it does not deliver the 150×150.jpg image (for example if 150×150 is defined for WP standard thumbnail) Instead it just shows the url to the standard image.

  283. Hi,

    I use your plugin to set the background image for the category-list page. Works like a charm.

    But I also want to set the category image as background for the “single” detail post, when clicking on “read more” at the category list. But this doen’t work out, as the “” doesn’t produce the link to the category image when used in the “single.php” header.

    In the Category Images – Settings the “post_tag” is allowed.

    So where do I make a mistake here?

    Thx for your help and best greetz, Hannes

    • When I use your code above to display all the front pages of the issues it even displays the parent categories. I don’t want to do that. Is there a way to hide them from the list?

    The plugin is great and has been working well, however, I am having a problem with the plugin lately. I have managed to upload category header images and all of a sudden the new categories I have created don’t seem to be displaying the images allocated to them.

    Can anyone assist in solving this issue?

    Thanks

  342. Hi, Im using the loop code below but only want to display subcategories on the page (not the current category or any sibling categories, just subcategories). When I use the code below it is showing all categories within our setup. Any ideas on what to modify please to only show subcategories?

    e.g. with the categorisation below, if you view the page for category A you should only see links to subcat A1 and A2.

    -category A
    — subcat A1
    — subcat A2
    -category B
    — subcat B1
    — subcat B2

    Many thanks

    <img src="term_id); ?>” />
    <a href="term_id); ?>”>cat_name; ?>

  345. Hi!! Thanks for this great plugin… It have been working greatly but now I’m having some difficulties… On the products tags it’s showing me the uploaded image + the text… How do I make just the image visible without the text?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks a lot!

  347. Hi,
    My category.php looks like this:

    Please help me where to put the code to display the picture in the categorie?
    I can see it in the upload but it’s not op de page at the category.

    Please help, I need this to make my website to work

  348. Thank you for this helpful plugin. I am not a programmer and if I may ask for a minor help please?

    The plugin works with main Category archive pages (without inserting any additional code from the examples that you have provided above). But it does not show the featured image in Jetpack’s Portfolio Archive page or Jetpack’s Project Type Archive page.

    I tried inserting the code above (example 3) into functions.php but doing so broke the site. Any help is appreciated.

    Kind regards
