Hi,

Is it possible to choose a photo for the banner product category instead of the same miniature for the product category?

The top wide image.

Thanks!! Let me know :)

Hi there,

it would require custom development with Custom Fields, as you would need to be able to save a separate Image URL for each category. If you have that in place then we could look at the options for displaying that image.

Is that a separated plugin or I can do it with Elements from Generatepress?

I would have to set an image with text (optional) and make it show on product categories, right?

Thanks

I've already have that element created but only allows me to choose 1 photo. Do i have to make a new element for each category? That'd be a lot of work!

There are a couple of steps:

1. You would have to register a Custom Field for your Woocommerce Categories. There are some plugins like ACF that can do this for you, or this StackOverflow provides a code only solution:

You will need to register a field to store your custom image URL.

2. The value ( ie. URL ) will be stored in the Term Meta. Using a GP Block Element - Page Hero, you can set a Dynamic Background using the Term Meta dynamic data option:

Ok, I've done step 1 with code only solution. What do I have to do now? Thanks!

Ok I've made it!! Thanks!!

Hi Ivan,

Once the step 1 is done, you can start step 2.

Have you run into any difficulties practicing step 2?
