 * Hello,
 * Im using this code to display **Random** wp_list_categories on the sidebar ;
 *     ```
       <?php
       //display random sorted list of terms in a given taxonomy
       $counter = 0;
       $max = 12; //number of categories to display
       $taxonomy = 'category';
       $terms = get_terms($taxonomy);
       shuffle ($terms);
       //echo 'shuffled';
       if ($terms) {
       	foreach($terms as $term) {
       		$counter++;
   
       	  	if (function_exists('z_taxonomy_image_url')) echo z_taxonomy_image_url();
   
       	}
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * How Can I hack this code to display images with categories ?
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Yeah, simply do something like this:
    `<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url($term-
   >term_id); ?>`
 * Thanks
