echo<\/code> function to retrieve 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 the template tag rdv_category_image();<\/code> 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 a page, post, or page builder template to display a category image. The basic shortcode without attributes [rdv_category_image]<\/code> displays the image on a category archive page. Use the shortcode attributes term_id<\/code> and size<\/code> to display a specific category image and size on any page or post.<\/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 the WordPress admin area and select Plugins > 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>\nPlease check these three items:\n1. Go to RDV Category Image<\/strong> settings and verify that 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 are fully supported:<\/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 will not affect your site's performance. It only loads administrative scripts on relevant category edit screens.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do I need to edit my theme files to use this plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo! Editing files is not required for most users. Simply use the shortcode that appears when editing a category and paste it into:\n- Pages or posts (using the shortcode with the term_id<\/code> attribute).\n- Page builder modules (such as Elementor, Divi, or Beaver Builder).\n- Page builder category archive templates.<\/p>\n\nAdvanced users who want more control can optionally add template tags to child theme files - see the template tag examples in the Description section above.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
