<p>Custom fields are great for storing various meta data about a post. However, if you routinely need to display posts that have a certain custom field value, you should consider switching to a <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Taxonomies" rel="nofollow ugc">custom taxonomy</a>, which is better suited for grouping posts.</p>
<p>With this simple plugin, you can convert all custom fields with a certain key to terms in a certain taxonomy, while maintaining the post association.</p>

WP Term Images

Plugin works as advertised. Found a small bug and @jjj was kind enough to fix it. What more could you ask for?



Works Great!

Thanks!

Just tested with the latest version of WP.

Thank you

Excellent! Works like a charm. Very useful for building nice term pages.

Just what I need

It's simple and less intrusive than other plugins that do the same. It blends better with WordPress UI.

It doesn't show anything in the frontend if the correct code isn't added to the theme, something like this I guess:

<?php 
$taximg_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;
// image id is stored as term meta
$image_id = get_term_meta( $taximg_id, 'image', true );

// image data stored in array, second argument is which image size to retrieve
$image_data = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image_id, 'full' );

// image url is the first item in the array (aka 0)
$image = $image_data[0];

if( $image ) {
	echo "<img src=" . $image . " class='term-image'>";
}

?>
