how to display the taxonomy image in wordpress
To display the taxonomy image in WordPress, follow these steps:
- Install and activate a plugin called "Taxonomy Images" from the WordPress plugin repository.
- After activating the plugin, go to the WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to "Settings" > "Taxonomy Images".
- In the "Taxonomies" section, select the taxonomies for which you want to enable image support. For example, if you want to display images for categories, select the "Categories" checkbox.
- Click on the "Save Changes" button to save your settings.
- Now, when you edit a term within the selected taxonomy (e.g., a category), you will see a new "Taxonomy Images" meta box.
- Within the "Taxonomy Images" meta box, click on the "Set or Remove Image" button to upload or select an image for the term.
- Choose an image from your media library or upload a new one, and then click on the "Set Image" button.
- Once the image is set, you will see a thumbnail preview of the image in the "Taxonomy Images" meta box.
- Repeat the process for other terms within the taxonomy if needed.
- To display the taxonomy image in your WordPress theme, you can use the following code snippet:
<?php
$term_id = get_queried_object_id(); // Get the ID of the current term
$image = taxonomy_image($term_id); // Get the image URL for the term
if ($image) {
echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="Taxonomy Image">';
}
?>
- You can place this code snippet in your theme's template files, such as category.php or taxonomy.php, where you want to display the taxonomy image.
- Save the file and refresh the front-end of your website to see the taxonomy image displayed.
That's it! Now you should be able to display the taxonomy image in WordPress using the Taxonomy Images plugin.
