 * Hi Martin. You could copy the three content-related php files into a child theme
   and then modify them manually following the steps in [this tutorial](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/set-fallback-featured-image-based-post-category-wordpress/).
   Or you could look at using a plugin like [Featured Images for Categories](https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-images-for-categories/).
