List Categories with an image instead of category title!

The Category Images plugin might be helpful, if not for the plugin itself, then at least to get an understanding of the code needed.

That plugin is over two years old!

Still works for me on 2.3.1 ??

yeah, ive already tried that plugin, but it only works within the loop, so its not going to help me ??

I found a way to do this without using any plugin. I just used This Article

mixed with this This Article

to get some code like this one:

<?php foreach((get_categories('exclude=1,4,6,7')) as $cat) {

        echo '<a href="https://example.com' . $cat->category_nicename . '"><img src="https://example' . $cat->category_nicename . '.png" width="178" height="28" alt="' . $cat->cat_name . '" /></a> ';

      } ?>

So with this code, we can display a picture for the category that links to its category page, instead of showing the category’s title and the typical link.

Hope it helps!
