categories-images

I have been using this plugin for a couple years and it is a significant part of making categories work like, well, categories, and making my website look more graphical and appealing. The one time there was an issue, the plugin author fixed it very quickly. Really grateful for this plugin. Thank you!

I give 2 stars because this plugin seems to do what it claims, that is, assign an image to each category and tag taxonomy (which is exactly what I want and something the core WordPress should already have!) However, there’s no Block added for easily using the new feature in templates. You have to edit PHP code. I also caution everyone to review the old complaints about how it records the images in the database and you should thoroughly test on a staging site first if the old complaints are still valid (slowing down large sites, not cleaning up the DB, etc)

I installed it, and then realised that my SEO plugin allows OG images. I deactivated and deleted it. Now none of my categories work. I reset the permalinks, nothing. The categories show there are items, but the posts show no categories or tags attached to the post, and none can be added. I don’t know WHAT it did!

I had tested them all, and I can confirm that this plugin is the best in its category. I use it throughout my project, the z_taxonomy() function has become my favorite 😉 Thank you, Muhammad, for continuing to maintain it 🙏.

Tested and used on WordPress 6.0.2, perfect

The plugin saves image link into the Options table. Every saved term will add a row to the site’s Options table, which may slow down the site if there are many term images. Also, the option does not get deleted after you remove a term image, it is the option’s value that gets cleared out. The option only gets deleted if you delete the term. To me, this looks unprofessional.
