<p>** 07/06/18 – Updated for the latest version of WooCommerce **</p>
<p>By default, WooCommerce displays a neutral and uninteresting category image placeholder in those cases where a category has<br />
no explicitly set thumbnail. This plugin simply replaces the placeholder image with a product image from that category.</p>
<p>User can choose whether to use a random product or the latest product from that category.</p>
<p>Feature requests welcome, please <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-auto-category-thumbnails" title="Plugin support forum" rel="ugc">post in the support forum</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Usage</strong></p>
<p>There is no complicated setup, simply install the plugin and configure WooCommerce to display categories. Any categories containing products but without a<br />
category thumbnail will now display a product image.</p>
<p>To switch between random and latest product display, see the settings page under WooCommerce > Settings > Auto Category Thumbnails.</p>
<p>More options coming soon. <a href="http://codebyshellbot.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-auto-category-thumbnails/" title="WooCommerce Auto Category Thumbnails" rel="nofollow ugc">Plugin release page</a>.</p>

<h3>Third-party script inclusion</h3>
<p>As part of this plugin, based on the Foxy store version you have configured, a javascript file will be included from the Foxy CDN to add the cart functionality to your site. The file is unique to your store, and updated based on changes to your store in the Foxy administration.</p>
<p>You can exclude this from being output on specific (or all) pages using the “Skip FoxyCart Includes on These Pages” option in the FoxyShop plugin settings. If the file isn’t included on a page with a product add to cart, customers will be redirected to the full page cart instead, and it may impact cart session functionality.</p>
