RDV Category Image

FAQ

Where can I find the shortcode for my category?

When you edit a category that has an image, a shortcode automatically appears on the edit page like this: [rdv_category_image term_id="10"]

Simply click the shortcode to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it anywhere on your site (posts, pages, widgets).

The image isn’t showing on my site. What should I check?

Make sure of these three things:
1. Go to RDV Category Image settings and verify the taxonomy (Categories, Tags, etc.) is checked and saved
2. Confirm you’ve uploaded an image for that specific category
3. Clear your site cache and refresh the page

Does this work with WooCommerce product categories?

Yes! WooCommerce product categories work automatically:

1. Go to RDV Category Image settings
2. Check “Product categories (product_cat)”
3. Click Save Changes
4. Edit any product category and upload an image

Use the shortcode displayed on the edit page to show the image anywhere in your store.

Will this plugin slow down my website?

No, the plugin is lightweight and won’t affect your site’s performance. It only loads in the admin area when you’re editing categories.

Do I need to edit my theme files to use this plugin?

No! For most users, you don’t need to edit any files. Simply use the shortcode that appears when you edit a category and paste it into:
– Posts or pages (use the full shortcode with term_id)
– Page builder modules (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, etc.)
– Page builder category archive templates

Advanced users who want more control can optionally add template tags to their child theme files – see the template tag examples in the Description section above.
