    Hi sanjiovani,

    Thanks for your post. Not sure what you mean by this. Maybe you can just create an image grid using the default Gutenberg editor and hyperlink each manually to your categories. Let us know what you think.

    GD Categories always uses the same layout and changing it requires either extensive custom CSS or customization of the widget itself.

    There is an option to use the default category image. If you are comfortable with CSS it may be possible to get that looking the way you want.

    hello
    i would like to create something similar to the Listimia – the default icons are very old and need a serious upgrade https://demos.addictedtoweb.com/listimia-gd/

    i would highly recommend modernizing the theme defaults

    thank you

    You can use some FontAwesome Pro icons if you have a subscription.

    To set that up view the FA settings in

    WP Backend – Settings – Font Awesome

    Hi sanjiovani,

    Purchasing fontawesome will not have an option to create a grid shown in your attached image. You’ll need to use a 3rd party plugin or use the default WP Gutenberg gallery to create a gallery grid, then you can hyperlink each grid item to your listing categories manually.

    If you’re looking for more map markers/category icons here are some links to these resources:
