Category page template

Hello!

Category pages are created dynamically, so they don’t have the normal WP “Featured Image.

Some other members have found various uses for the category image, the one that is uploaded for each category. Here’s a function to call the image:

geodir_get_default_catimage($term_id, $post_type);

You can then proceed to customize your own version of the listing page, which is responsible for creating the ‘category’ archive pages. This is the location of the file: /wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-templates/geodir-listing.php

Your new function will need to check the page type to make sure it is a category listing page, grab the category image, and then format the the output with additional CSS.

Hello!

There are no posts that I Have found with snippets with exactly what you are looking for.

The feature that you are talking about would be associated with the category properties page, where you set the category name, slug, description, and two images there, one for the map pin, and one for the Default image for listings in that category.

Additional functionality would probably be added to that form/feature in one way or another.

Hi Joy,

The featured on the WP categories pages is managed by either one of following ways.
– If you have set any page under Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays > Posts page > XYZ & featured image has been set for that XYZ page, then that featured images used to display for category pages.
OR
– If you have not set “Posts page” or have empty featured image for the page “Posts page > XYZ” then you can set featured image by adding following line in wp-config.php

if ( ! defined( 'SD_DEFAULT_FEATURED_IMAGE' ) ) {
    define( 'SD_DEFAULT_FEATURED_IMAGE', "https://MYSITE.com/uploads/2017/11/featured.jpg" );
}

Let us know.

Thanks,
Kiran

Joy that would break the page layout and require 2 scroll on the same page (a UX monstrosity). Are you sure you want to do that?

Hello!

That would be a customization, but you have lots of information here about the ‘pieces’ that would be needed.

The category page was not designed to have a top banner featured image, there is not settings to be able to do this, it would require customisation.

Thanks,
