display product category image on header element

Hi there,

are you using the Header Element ( not the Block Element ) ? If so try this PHP Snippet:

Hi David,
no I´m using the Block Element.

Do you want the image as a background to the container or as an Image Block?

as a background image.

I´d like to display the description of the product category als well in a headline block. Can you please help me with that too?

These settings work for me:

Hi David,

yes I thought so too but for me those settings aren't working.

I deactivate all plugins but still no image.

Hi there,

Can you link us to the specific category archive page that doesn't have an image displaying?

I've checked the category archive pages on your menu and images seem to be loading.

Here's what I see on my end
Aquaristik - https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQuY7zQN
Hunde - https://share.getcloudapp.com/L1ureP10
Katzen - https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAunGz5L

Nager, Terraristik and Vögel also have their own images displaying.

Hi Elvin,
I created a header element specific for the main categories but the subcategories don't have an image:
see: https://tiershop.dndev.at/produkt-kategorie/kleintiere/hamster/

I changed it to Term Meta. And the Meta Name of: thumbnail_id
And that seems to have done the trick.

Let me know.

Yes that's it!!! Great thank you.

Can you please as well help me with the description of the product category after the title in my header element?

Awesome :)
Add a GP Dynamic Content Block and set the type to: Term Description

Hi David,

I always forget about the GP Dynamic content Block, it works!

Thanks for your help

Glad to be of help! And its great to see how you're using the Block Element Dynamic Data :)
