Category Icon

A WordPress plugin to easily attach an icon to a category, tag or any other taxonomy term.

** Now supports a category, tag or any other taxonomy image field, also.

Please note that this plugin will not automatically output the icon or the image on the frontend of our site.

It is up to you to query and output in your theme using the provided getter functions: get_term_icon_id(), get_term_icon_url(), get_term_image_id(), get_term_image_url().

1. Install Category Icon either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. After activating Category Icon go and edit any category or term to see the upload field.
3. Now you can add or edit category, tags or any other taxonomy terms icons.
