* Well, category images plugin was terrible (for me anyway), so that was a bust.
The HTML allow one was perfect, and I could fix the couple that were broken.
* I truly appreciate everyone’s help. Thank you community and thanks [@rajaramesh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajaramesh/)
for you support.

* [@rajaramesh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajaramesh/) OK – 2 issues:
1. There is no **Text** tab (or **Code** tab) at the top right of the Description
box – I tried my admin login of course.
2. The HTML is clearly visible in the Description box as provided earlier in the
thread. Nothing is “hidden”

* Update for those so kind enough to try and explain WTF is going on. I got this
from the Astra site AI:
* **Astra** itself does not add the ability to insert images into category descriptions.
WordPress core strips HTML (including `![]()
` tags) from category descriptions
by default for security reasons.
* If you’ve been adding images to categories successfully until now, it’s likely
that another plugin on your site was allowing HTML in those fields — not Astra.
Common plugins that enable this include category-management plugins or custom-
field plugins that extend taxonomy terms.
* Check your active plugins for anything that mentions “category images”, “taxonomy
fields”, or “HTML in descriptions”. If you recently updated a plugin or WordPress
itself, that could explain why the images are now being stripped.

* [@rajaramesh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajaramesh/) I went into Astra
and there isn’t a “categories” item under Posts. So I am broken on the first
step. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. I have Posts> Blog/Archive or
Posts> Single Post or Posts> Single Page or Posts> Search Page or Posts> Custom
Post Types
* Sorry but lost on step 1
* If you meant from the WordPress Admin Posts> Categories > then choose a category–
I don’t see anything that Step 2 says.
* As far as I can tell your steps 2,3 and 4 are assuming creating a Post, not a
category, so this process is not applicable.

* Thank you [@rajaramesh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajaramesh/) – they
usually update at the same time…and I think the last update that was true.
* I don’t have any plugins that allow the modification of Category pages. And I
have crawled through Astra with nothing obvious at all. I am not an expert and
I use things pretty much as they come. I did not create that HTML. I remember
creating these categories – I am the only one that did that – and I can remember
adding the images but whether they were cut and paste or some other method I
can’t remember. I definitely did not have anything special.

* [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) ahhh the theme – let
me check that. I use Astra with Astra Pro. I am always updated to the latest
versions of everything. I know, I know. Some people say that is how this kind
of thing happens. So thanks a ton for pointing me to look.
* 20 minutes later…..
* Nothing on editing categories. I also looked at Elementor and Elementor Pro –
again nothing on editing categories.
* It just seems strange to me that on an older category page I have the images
with that html code I show above, and when I edit and save that category that
the image code is removed, yet it can exist on older category pages.

* Thank you [@mbigul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbigul/) for underlining
[@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) response. I just have
no idea what plugin would do that then. I am off to the plugins repositories
to try and figure that out.

* Thanks for that suggestion, but no – I can’t say I remember ever installing a
specific plugin, and I have not deactivated anything. I checked to make sure.
If I go to the category page: [https://www.cellstream.com/category/csitraining/csilearning/ipv4-courses/](https://www.cellstream.com/category/csitraining/csilearning/ipv4-courses/)
and then edit the category, this content appears:
* ```wp-block-code
```
* If I choose to save that category, WordPress will remove this.
