This plugin allows you to upload images for categories and custom taxonomies, and provides a template tag to show the image(s) in your theme.
To activate the images for a custom taxonomy, go to Settings > Category Images II.
To upload an image for a category, or a term in a custom taxonomy, go to the edit screen for that category or term.
<h3>Tag: ciii_category_images() && ciii_term_images()</h3>
<pre><code><?php ciii_category_images(); ?>
</code></pre>
Used within the loop, the above template tag will show the thumbnails for all the category images for the category of that post. If some categories have no image, no image is shown for that category (i.e. there is no default image). You will need to style the HTML output yourself.
<pre><code><?php ciii_category_images( 'category_ids=37,27' ); ?>
</code></pre>
Used anywhere and provided with category IDs, the above template tag will show the thumbnails for all the categories specified. If some categories have no image, no image is shown for that category (i.e. there is no default image here either).
(Note that this tag will get confused if you use it outside the loop. If you want to add a single image to your category archive pages, please use <code>ciii_category_archive_image()</code> below.)
<pre><code><?php ciii_term_images( 'post_tag' ); ?>
</code></pre>
Used within the loop, the above template tag will show the thumbnails for all the term images for the specified taxonomy (in this case ‘post_tag’) which are associated with that post. If some terms have no image, no image is shown for that term (i.e. there is no default image). You will need to style the HTML output yourself.
<pre><code><?php ciii_term_images( 'post_tag', category_ids=37,27' ); ?>
</code></pre>
Used anywhere and provided with term IDs, the above template tag will show the thumbnails for all the terms specified. If some terms have no image, no image is shown for that term (i.e. there is no default image here either). You will need to style the HTML output yourself.
You can pass the <code>show_description</code> parameter to not show the term or category description, and the <code>size</code> parameter to specify either ‘original’ or ‘thumbnail’.
<h3>Tag: ciii_category_archive_image()</h3>
<pre><code><?php ciii_category_archive_image(); ?>
</code></pre>
This tag is designed to be used on the category archive page, either inside or outside the loop. It will show the image for the category in question.You can specify the maximum side of the category image thumbnail in “Settings > Category Images II”. You can upload, and delete, images for each category from “Manage > Categories”, click into each category you wish to edit and you’ll see the uploading and deletion controls (deletion controls only show up if the category already has an image uploaded).
The HTML output is fairly well classed, but if you need to adapt it you can. Create a directory in your theme called “view”, and a directory within that one called “category-images-ii”. Then copy the template files <code>view/category-images-ii/term-images.php</code> from the plugin directory into your theme directory and amend as you need. If these files exist in these directories in your theme they will override the ones in the plugin directory. This is good because it means that when you update the plugin you can simply overwrite the old plugin directory as you haven’t changed any files in it. All hail <a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">John Godley</a> for the code which allows this magic to happen.

Gutenberg Editor already maintains the parent-child relationship when you select a category. So the child doesn’t move at the top in the category meta box. So this plugin isn’t required if you’re using the Gutenberg Editor.
Categories in Hierarchical Order plugin applies to WordPress Classic Post Editor only.
This plugin contains functionality to let you maintain default hierarchical order of categories when you select and save them for a post in your WordPress Admin Classic Post Editor.
The selected category/categories, to which a post belongs, are by default pushed at the top in the Category tab while saving the post. Whereas activating Categories in Hierarchical Order plugin will keep the position of selected category/categories unchanged as per their parent/child relationship.

Categories in Hierarchical Order

Does exactly what you expect from this plugin. Nice!

Works great!

Does exactly what should be the default option in Wordpress, great! Sorely needed if you have many categories (possibly with very similar names) and rely on a complex hierarchy.

Great!

Perfect

Why is this not part of the WordPress core yet? This plugin fixed my ugly looking category structure! Thanks guys!

Brilliant!
