Making Image Link Same as Product Category Link

    In the link below (which is technically my “shop” page, but the name is changed to “art”), I have three product category links and one regular image serving as a page link (“Music”). Is there any way I could make that image into a link exactly like the three others, and side-by-side with the others rather than on top?
    The reason it’s not a product category is because the content aren’t actual products.

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

    It depends on how the images came to be that way. If it’s by some template code, the template code would need reworking. If it’s all HTML in page content, you can rearrange the HTML by viewing the page content in text or code mode. The other 3 are in their own row container, so the 4th image would need to be within the same container. You may need to adjust the CSS so everything fits in one row. Use your browser’s CSS inspector to try various settings to arrive at the right one before committing changes to the Addi9tional CSS panel of the customizer.

    How exactly do I place the image into the product category row container? I know nothing about HTML or creating my own CSS, or even anything about anything in the browser inspector. If I make any changes to anything in HTML I’m fearful I might ruin something.

    I tried to think of a way to do what you want where you would be confident in doing it. I kept running into road blocks that would require some technical ability to overcome. To do this correctly, you probably would be best off in hiring professional help to be sure it is done right. A couple resources you can use if you don’t already have someone to call upon is jobs.wordpress.net and jetpack.pro.

    Taking a step back, if music is not a product, wouldn’t putting the link among actual categories be confusing to visitors? I can see why being all in one row makes sense from a graphic layout perspective, but there is more to a page than graphic layout. IMO, you (and your visitors) would be better off if the music link remained separate from product categories. Maybe even format it differently to highlight the difference. Maybe the image is a different aspect and is centered. Maybe there is more content describing what the link is taking people to. Maybe even explaining what the product categories are. We visitors are kind of dumb. We need help in knowing where to go to get what we came to your site for ??

    Just some thoughts from an outside observer. It’s your site though, not mine. Do what you think is best.
