Upload images, give them titles, links, descriptions and then save them into your catalog. Use categories to organize and filter your catalog items into multiple different catalogs. Show off your photos in high resolution with the LightBox effect, perfect for simple galleries.

[catthumb id=”CategoryID” link=”true”] will find the most recent post in the specified Category with a featured image and return the thumbnail for that image. If link=”true” is specified, the image will link to the category specified.
You can optionally search custom post types with the <code>post_type</code> attribute, and specify the thumbnail size with the <code>size</code> attribute. IE <code>[catthumb id="CategoryID" link="true" post_type="restaurants" size="full"]</code>
The plugin will only search featured images, not attached images. It will not look for images embedded in the post itself, or other attached images. If a category does not have any posts with featured images, this plugin will not return a thumbnail image, even if the category has posts with attached images.

Category Thumbnail

Adds shortcode [catthumb] to embed a thumbnail image for a category.
