    Hello there,
    I’m new to this forum.
    I am trying to add different banners for each category. How do I do this?

    Please note: I don’t have an ‘archive.php’ or ‘category.php’ in my theme.

    Please tell me step by step instructions on how to add different banners for each category. So far the tutorials from WordPress sections have been very vague.

    Thank you!

    what theme are you using?

    where do you want to put the banner? –
    if in the header region, you could programm it into header.php with conditional tags:
    `
    if (is_category (‘2’)) { your banner code for cat 2 }
    elseif (is_category (‘9’)) { your banner code for cat 9 }
    else { code for all other categories }
    `

    from codex:

    is_category(‘9’)
    When the archive page for Category 9 is being displayed.
    is_category(‘Stinky Cheeses’)
    When the archive page for the Category with Name “Stinky Cheeses” is being displayed.
    is_category(‘blue-cheese’)
    When the archive page for the Category with Category Slug “blue-cheese” is being displayed.

    you could also create a category.php to contain your conditional tags where you want to display the banner.
