how to display the taxonomy image in wordpress

To display the taxonomy image in WordPress, follow these steps:

  1. Install and activate a plugin called "Taxonomy Images" from the WordPress plugin repository.
  2. After activating the plugin, go to the WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to "Settings" > "Taxonomy Images".
  3. 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.
  4. Click on the "Save Changes" button to save your settings.
  5. Now, when you edit a term within the selected taxonomy (e.g., a category), you will see a new "Taxonomy Images" meta box.
  6. Within the "Taxonomy Images" meta box, click on the "Set or Remove Image" button to upload or select an image for the term.
  7. Choose an image from your media library or upload a new one, and then click on the "Set Image" button.
  8. Once the image is set, you will see a thumbnail preview of the image in the "Taxonomy Images" meta box.
  9. Repeat the process for other terms within the taxonomy if needed.
  10. 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">';
}
?>
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
