Adding thumbnail image to each category

You could try adding images via CSS.

i currently have

<?php
foreach(get_categories() as $category) {
    echo '<img src="https://.../images/' . $category->cat_name . '.jpg" alt="' . $category->cat_name . '" />';
}
?>

but this only shows my images.. i think im doing it right or not?
i now need to echo the cat_name with a link to it and put them in a list and then it should work fine ??

BUT can’t i just add this code so its added to the default template?
i tried copying the code from general-template.php and paste it in functions.php and adding the image code to it and then i did a add_action( 'wp_list_categories', 'wp_list_categories_test' );

but it didn’t work.. in fact my page didn’t display anymore ??
although i think this is THE WAY TO GO?

can you just copy the code from general-template.php into functions.php? or does this gives errors without changing anything?

note: i meant category-template.php instead of general-template.php

No. Don’t mess with core code.

I’m not really messing with the core code… i’m copying it so i can create my own function to override the default one… but i’ve to change things there but i’m not sure what..

You can’t just copy code code into your theme (amended or otherwise). Unless you really, really, know what you’re doing, you risk bring your whole site down with a fatal error. Far better to continue working with your original code and develop your own custom category listing function.

okay, but i thought because its almost the same as the original, basically only adding the image, i could c&p it but not ??

I’ll try it from scratch then

seriously i didn’t know it was so easy to do this lol ??
wordpress is a very nice cms ??

Glad to hear you managed to get it sorted. Sounds like a whole new horizon just opened up too. ??

indeed ?? i’m creating everything from scratch and you learn very fast here ??
