Description
[catthumb id=”CategoryID” link=”true”] will find the most recent post in the specified Category with a featured image and return the thumbnail for that image. If link=”true” is specified, the image will link to the category specified.
You can optionally search custom post types with the post_type attribute, and specify the thumbnail size with the size attribute. IE [catthumb id="CategoryID" link="true" post_type="restaurants" size="full"]
The plugin will only search featured images, not attached images. It will not look for images embedded in the post itself, or other attached images. If a category does not have any posts with featured images, this plugin will not return a thumbnail image, even if the category has posts with attached images.
Installation
- Upload
dirtysuds-category-thumbnailto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate DirtySuds – Category Thumbnail through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- In the page editor, add the shortcode
[catthumb id="CategoryID"]where CategoryID is category id number. This must be a number, not the category slug or name
FAQ
- Can I use `catthumb` in a template?
-
Of course! The syntax is very similar to the shortcode syntax. Just add the following line to your template.
<?php dirtysuds_category_thumb(array('id'=>'CategoryID')); ?>You just need to replace CategoryID with the id number of the category.
- I have an idea for a great way to improve this plugin
