Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Term Images

No. Not since WordPress 4.4.

No. There are no new database tables with this plugin.

No. All of WordPress's core database tables remain untouched.

With WordPress's get_term_meta() function // image id is stored as term meta $image_id = get_term_meta( 7, 'image', true ); // image data stored in array, second argument is which image size to retrieve $image_data = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image_id, 'full' ); // image url is the first item in the array (aka 0) $image = $image_data[0]; if ( ! empty( $image ) ) { echo '<img src="' . esc_url( $image ) . '" />'; } The attachment ID is also exposed as the term's image metadata in the WordPress REST API. To keep it out of REST responses, return false from the wp_term_image_show_in_rest filter.

Yes. Filter the visible taxonomies after discovery and return only the ones that should use the image interface: add_filter( 'wp_term_image_allowed_taxonomies', function( $taxonomies ) { return array( 'category', 'post_tag' ); } );
