 * Hi,
    I purchased a knowledge base theme ([http://demo.herothemes.com/helpguru/](http://demo.herothemes.com/helpguru/))
   and need a small modification. The author offers no customisation support.
 * Each article category can be assigned an image. I would like sub category images
   to appear next to the titles in the taxonomy instead of the standard folder icon.
   I’ve played with the php for days with no joy – but my skills are limited.
 * Here’s the code I need to edit.
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <?php global $ht_knowledge_base_options; ?>
   
       <?php get_template_part( 'page-header', 'kb' ); ?>
   
       <!-- #primary -->
       <div id="primary" class="sidebar-right clearfix">
       <div class="ht-container">
   
       <!-- #content -->
       <main id="content" role="main">
   
       <!-- #ht-kb -->
       <div id="ht-kb" class="ht-kb-category">
   
       <?php //get the title
       $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); ?>
   
         	<?php
         	$term_meta = get_ht_kb_term_meta($term);
         	$category_thumb_att_id = 0;
       	$category_color = '#222'; 
   
       	if(is_array($term_meta)&&array_key_exists('meta_image', $term_meta)&&!empty($term_meta['meta_image']))
       		$category_thumb_att_id = $term_meta['meta_image'];
   
       	if(is_array($term_meta)&&array_key_exists('meta_color', $term_meta)&&!empty($term_meta['meta_color']))
       		$category_color = $term_meta['meta_color'];
       	?>
   
       	<!--.ht-kb-category-header-->
       	<div class="ht-kb-category-header clearfix">

       	} else {
       		$ht_kb_category_class = "ht-kb-category-hasicon";
       	} ?>

       		echo '<img src="' . $category_thumb_src . '" class="ht-kb-category-thumb" />';
