# Adding icons before entry titles?

 * Hi everyone! Looking for a bit of advice as to how to implement icons / image
   files before the post titles on my website. I’m currently using a very outdated
   plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/title-icons/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/title-icons/)
   that lacks much of any sort of customization, and which I would very much like
   to move away from using.
 * I’ve struck out so far following various other guides I’ve seen online to achieve
   the same effect. The first one I consulted on EngageWP seemed promising, using
   custom fields tied to categories in order to identify which icons should be used
   in which post titles, but the code for it apparently no longer works in recent
   versions of WordPress?
 * Ideally, what I would like to be able to do would be something similar to the
   way that the aforementioned guide knows to pull icons: Checking for the presence
   of one (or possibly two) categories / custom fields, associating said descriptors
   with icon files on the site, and inserting them before the entry title. For reference,
   my site deals in video game reviews, and the graphics I would like to be able
   to load are icons to indicate what type of content the attached articles are (
   whether they’re game or console reviews), and the ESRB ratings of the games I
   cover on my site.
 * Any help in accomplishing this would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you 
   for your time!

 * Hi [@lasscassidy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lasscassidy/),
 * I don’t know if you tried any other plug-ins, if not, this might be a good solution
   for you: [Easy category Icons](https://wordpress.org/plugins/templatic-categoryicons/)
 * But using ACF to add icons in front of your title is probably the best way to
   go and needs some customization.
