RDV Category Image plugin allows you to add an image to a category, tag, or any custom taxonomies. Please review the code snippets below to display a category image on the category page template or any page or post.<\/p>\n\n
Use template tag rdv_category_image_url(); with php echo function to get the category image url and then use it in an image tag.<\/p>\n\n
<?php if(function_exists('rdv_category_image_url')){ echo rdv_category_image_url(); } ?>\n<\/code><\/pre><\/li>\nUse this template tag rdv_category_image(); in the category template file to display the category image directly.<\/p>\n\n
<?php if(function_exists('rdv_category_image')){ rdv_category_image(); } ?>\n<\/code><\/pre><\/li>\nUse the shortcode in page or post or a page builder template to display a category image. The basic shortcode without attributes [rdv_category_image] will only work on the category template page to display a specific category image. Use shortcode attributes term_id and size to display a specific category image and size.<\/p>\n\n
[rdv_category_image]\n [rdv_category_image term_id=\"10\"]\n [rdv_category_image size=\"thumbnail\"]\n [rdv_category_image term_id=\"10\" size=\"thumbnail\"]\n<\/code><\/pre><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n- Go to your admin area and select Plugins and Add New from the menu.<\/li>\n
- Search for \"RDV Category Image\".<\/li>\n
- Click install.<\/li>\n
- Click activate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nWhere can I find the shortcode for my category?<\/h3><\/dt>\nWhen you edit a category that has an image, a shortcode automatically appears on the edit page like this: [rdv_category_image term_id=\"10\"]<\/code><\/p>\n\nSimply click the shortcode to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it anywhere on your site (posts, pages, widgets).<\/p><\/dd>\n
The image isn't showing on my site. What should I check?<\/h3><\/dt>\nMake sure of these three things:\n1. Go to RDV Category Image<\/strong> settings and verify the taxonomy (Categories, Tags, etc.) is checked and saved\n2. Confirm you've uploaded an image for that specific category\n3. Clear your site cache and refresh the page<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes this work with WooCommerce product categories?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes! WooCommerce product categories work automatically:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Go to RDV Category Image<\/strong> settings<\/li>\n
- Check \"Product categories (product_cat)\"<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Click Save Changes<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Edit any product category and upload an image<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Use the shortcode displayed on the edit page to show the image anywhere in your store.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will this plugin slow down my website?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo, the plugin is lightweight and won't affect your site's performance. It only loads in the admin area when you're editing categories.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do I need to edit my theme files to use this plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo! For most users, you don't need to edit any files. Simply use the shortcode that appears when you edit a category and paste it into:\n- Posts or pages (use the full shortcode with term_id)\n- Page builder modules (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, etc.)\n- Page builder category archive templates<\/p>\n\n
Advanced users who want more control can optionally add template tags to their child theme files - see the template tag examples in the Description section above.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
