Hi Merlin,

The plugin’s documentation that’s found here:

http://zahlan.net/blog/2012/06/categories-images/

says to use get_terms when looping for taxonomies. So in the documentation, where it has this:

get_terms('your_taxonomy')

you replace with this:

get_terms( 'espresso_event_categories' )

Please do not edit .php files. This is not only unnecessary, but your edits will break when you update to new versions.

1) You can select images for Event Espresso categories with the category plugin activated by going to this URL in your WP admin:

http://yoursite/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=espresso_event_categories

2) In the code you posted above, specifically where you use the espresso_event_categories() tag, that will return the names and links of the categories. To get the category image, you will need to use the template tag from the category images plugin documentation.

Along with that, you can follow and even add some code to the table template’s category loop that’s already there starting on line 76 of the table template. Do you see where it has the get_the_terms()? It’s right after that. You’ll want to be sure to initialize and reset before the loop and after the loop in the else that follows like this:

$category_image = '';

Then, inside the $event_categories loop, you can add something like this:

if ( function_exists( 'z_taxonomy_image_url' ) ) {
  $category_image = z_taxonomy_image_url( $term->term_id );
}

The function_exists check is optional, but probably a good idea in case the category image plugin ever gets deactivated.

Then, in the part of the template that outputs the row’s html, you add something like this:

<td><img src="<?php echo $category_image; ?>" /></td>
