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.

There are lots of reasons why WordPress site owners need to add extra content types to the CMS:
<ul>
<li>
Create dedicated areas for each type of content within the WordPress admin (these are called ‘custom post types’). For example, if you’re adding ‘Resources’ to your site then it’s best to create a ‘Resources’ custom post type and manage the resources separately from your pages and posts.
</li>
<li>
Add extra fields (called ‘custom fields’) to your pages, posts, or any custom post type. These are useful for storing and displaying information in a structured way. For example, you might add a ‘Modified Date’ field to your Resources post type.
</li>
<li>
Create extra ways of categorizing and organizing your website content (these are called ‘custom taxonomies’). These are like categories and tags in WordPress, but the difference is that you can have as many as you like – for any post type. For example, you might create an ‘Industries’ taxonomy in order to group your Resources by industry.
</li>
</ul>
Developed by leading UK-based plugin company <a href="https://barn2.com/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=freeplugin&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg&utm_content=ecpt-wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">Barn2</a>, Easy Post Types and Fields is intentionally simpler and easier to use than other plugins. It has all the essential features that you need to create custom post types, custom fields, and custom taxonomies – without any unnecessary complexity.
<h4>How to add custom post types, fields, and taxonomies to WordPress</h4>
Simply create any type of content using a simple and intuitive wizard. You can create brand new custom post types, or add custom fields and taxonomies to existing post types. Either way, it’s incredibly straightforward.
Once you have created your custom post types, fields, and taxonomies, it’s easy to add the extra information to the WordPress CMS. Each custom post type has its own section on the left of the WordPress admin. Your custom fields and taxonomies appear on the ‘Add/Edit’ screen for each post.

<h4>Can I display the custom content on the front end of my website?</h4>
By default, your theme will display your custom post types using the same templates as the blog. This will list custom posts in the same way as blog posts, and won’t include your custom fields or taxonomies. This may not be the best way to present your custom content, so we recommend displaying it in a table using the <a href="https://barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/posts-table-pro/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=freeplugin&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg&utm_content=ecpt-wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">Posts Table Pro</a> plugin.
Posts Table Pro is a dynamic WordPress table plugin that lists any type of content from your website in a searchable table. As well as displaying any custom post type, you can choose which columns of information to show in the table – including your custom fields and custom taxonomies. See below for screenshots.
Your users will view the information in a table on the front end of your site. They can use the search box, sortable columns, and filter dropdowns to find exactly what they’re looking for.
This is how it displays the information from Easy Post Types and Fields:
<ul>
<li>
Create a table listing any or all of the posts from your custom post type. For example, you can list all the custom posts, or list posts with a specific ID, custom field value, custom taxonomy term, published date, etc.
</li>
<li>
Display each custom field as a separate column in the table. Users can sort the table by custom field.
</li>
<li>
Display each custom taxonomy as a separate column in the table. Users can sort by taxonomy terms, and also click on a term to filter the table. In addition, you can add each taxonomy as a filter dropdown above the table. That way, users can instantly find custom posts by taxonomy.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>This free WordPress custom post type plugin includes:</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Custom post types:
<ul>
<li>
Create an unlimited number of custom post types. Each custom post type has its own section in the WordPress admin, so you can manage your custom content separately from other WordPress post types.
</li>
<li>
Extend existing post types.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Custom fields:
<ul>
<li>
Add custom fields to any WordPress post type – either the post types that are built into WordPress itself (pages, posts, media attachments, etc.), content types created using Easy Post Types and Fields, or any other custom post type (e.g. post types created using other plugins such as <a href="https://barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/document-library-pro/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=freeplugin&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg&utm_content=ecpt-wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">Document Library Pro</a> and <a href="https://barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-product-table/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=freeplugin&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg&utm_content=ecpt-wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">WooCommerce Product Table</a>.
</li>
<li>
2 custom field types: Plain text or WYSIWYG (Visual Editor).
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Custom taxonomies:
<ul>
<li>
Add custom taxonomies to any post type.
</li>
<li>
Choose between hierarchical taxonomies (similar to WordPress categories) or non-hierarchical taxonomies (similar to WordPress tags).
</li>
<li>
Each taxonomy is unique to a specific post type, so you can manage the taxonomy terms separately from other categories and taxonomies.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>What doesn’t it include?</h4>
Easy Post Types and Fields includes the features that the majority of WordPress site owners use when they create custom post types, custom fields, and taxonomies. It intentionally does not include more advanced features that only a small proportion of users need, such as:
<ul>
<li>
Additional custom field types such as date picker, checkbox, and color picker fields (remember, you can add dates, numbers, images, etc. to a Visual Editor custom field in Easy Post Types and Fields).
</li>
<li>
Privacy options to restrict which user roles can see each field.
</li>
<li>
Relationship and repeater fields.
</li>
<li>
Advanced Content Types (ACTs) that get their own database tables.
</li>
</ul>
If you need these features then we recommend using a different custom post type plugin (e.g. Pods, Custom Post Type UI, or ACF). There are some excellent options available if you are happy with the added complexity.
<h4>Restrict access to custom post types and make them private</h4>
Some people want to control who can access some or all of their custom posts. You can do this by using Easy Post Types and Fields with our other plugin, <a href="https://barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/password-protected-categories/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=freeplugin&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg&utm_content=ecpt-wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Password Protected Categories</a>. This adds privacy options to your hierarchical custom taxonomies.
Simply restrict each one to specific logged-in users or user roles, or to anyone with the password. All the posts/custom posts in that taxonomy will then be private and hidden from view.
