    Hello every one
    i am using this code to display the only subcategories in the main category page

    <?php
if (is_category()) {
  $this_category = get_category($cat);
  if (get_category_children($this_category->cat_ID) != "") {
    echo "";
    echo "<ul>";
    wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=0&title_li=
&use_desc_for_title=1&child_of='.$this_category->cat_ID);
    echo "</ul>";
  }
}
?>

    this codes works perfectly but i want to add image for the subcategories links (like post thumbnail) that image link to the subcategory?
    1) how i can add image for categories?
    2) how i can display thats images to the subcategories list?
    is this possible?

    heard of a plugin th do this but not sure..
    workaround is to save images separately on server and then display via loop. instead of wp_list_categories, use get_categories with param ‘child_of=’.$this_category->cat_ID’. and then in a foreach loop, display each, which also gives you an option to output image..
    if its 1 image for all then give it as list-style in ul.

    oh yeah thats cool too… maybe this string will work:

    query_posts('category_name='.$category->name.'&showposts=1')
