category feature image

  • How do I set the category page’s feature image? I don’t want the feature images for each post to change. I just want to set individual feature images for each category. That way I can send a link to a category and get the correct type of image for the category in Facebook Messenger, etc.

    For example I have a page about fireworks: https://hokkaido.a4jp.com/category/en-fireworks/
    Just now the site’s main image of a flower field is showing. I want to set the image as fireworks.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • How do I set the category page’s feature image?

    WordPress itself doesn’t support adding images to categories. There are plugins that provide this feature, but these will merely display the images on your site, not in social share previews.

    That way I can send a link to a category and get the correct type of image for the category in Facebook Messenger, etc.

    Your site’s Social share previews are controlled by the Yoast SEO plugin you’re using, and this is where you should be looking for a solution if you do not want to replace your SEO plugin.

    The feature you’re looking for is available in the Yoast SEO plugin… but only in the PREMIUM (ie paid) version. You’ll see this under YOAST SEO => SETTINGS => CATEGORIES.

    I’m just looking for something free and I just want the category page to have a feature image. The post image should be allowed to be blank at times. I don’t want the category image to be used for posts, just the category pages.
