Show category featured images on top of category pages?

    I’m using Hestia. In the menu on the front page I have links to categories. When I click on a category I get a big pink ribbon with “Category: Category Name”.

    It would be great if this could be changed to be similar to how posts are shown with a featured image on top. Did somebody implement something like this?

    I already found a wordpress plugin that allows to set a featured image for a category but I’m unfamiliar with editing wordpress themes.

  • Hi @kcaluwae,

    Thank you for contacting us.
    Currently, if you want to change the big pink ribbon, you can:
    – change the color of the ribbon ( by going to Appearance > Customize > Colors > Accent Color )
    – add a header image ( by going to Appearance > Customize > Header Options > Header image ), but this will appear on all pages/posts that don’t have a featured image )

    We are currently working on a way to allow users to use a specially designed plugin to add featured images and use a filter or some other way in Hestia to display the image using a child theme.

    Hi @rodicaelena,

    Thanks for your reply.

    As you mention that you’re currently working on this. Would you be able to give a some estimate when it would be possible?

    Thanks!

    On October 18, we plan to have the next release.

    Hi Rodica, @rodicaelena,

    I’ve upgraded to your last release. I don’t directly see how the category images would work. Did this feature make it in the release?
    If so could you maybe point me in the direction what I should do?

    Thanks a lot,
    Kris

    Hi @kcaluwae,

    To add a featured image for each category, you need to follow this document
    https://docs.themeisle.com/article/706-how-to-use-categories-featured-images-as-header-image-in-hestia .
    The only thing is, for now, you would also need to make a small change in the parent theme, in inc > template-tags.php you would need to change this line:
    echo $header_filter_div;
    to this:
    echo apply_filters( 'hestia_header_wrapper_background_filter', $header_filter_div );
    because unfortunately there was a small problem in the latest update, and we didn’t get the chance to include this. But we are working on releasing a new update in the next days, with this change too. So, if you make the change now, it won’t be a problem, in the next update.

    Regards,
