How To Display Category Image In Genesis Child Themes

You can manually add your HTML for your image in the archive intro text field on the Edit Category page for each category. This will display your image after the category title and description.

Or

You can use PHP code which enables you to do this :

The image in this case is added before the archive title and description as seen in the above screenshot. However, you can change the position of the image, title and description using this solution for logged in users.

The PHP code does the following 2 things :

1. Displays a default image named archive.jpg which you can upload to your child themes images folder.
2. Adds an image upload field which enables you to display unique archive images for each archive page type including category, tag, blog, CPT and custom taxonomy ( all archive ) page types.
