Multiple category icons

[enderandrew]

Here is an example:

http://blindscribblings.com/category/comics/

Since there are posts that are tagged with more than one category, the category view is showing multiple category icons. That would make sense for an individual post which is in multiple categories, but the single category view show only show the icon for that category.

That would be a problem with the Category Icons plugin. Anyway, since the plugin hasn't been updated in 3 years, here is what you can do:
1. Open actions.php
2. Look for the function suffusion_get_category_information.
3. You will see this code:

Code: Select all

   if (function_exists('get_cat_icon')) {
      $ret .= get_cat_icon('echo=false');
   }

4. Change it to:

Code: Select all

   if (function_exists('get_cat_icon')) {
      $cat = get_queried_object_id();
      $ret .= get_cat_icon('echo=false&cat='.$cat);
   }

I realized after posting that might be the default behavior of the plugin.

Thank you! When I'm less broke I'll definitely be hitting up the donate button. The theme is amazing, as is your support.

Hi,

I have updated my plugin Category Icons the way enderandrew wanted.
And if for any reasons it would not work, give a try to my other plugin : Category Icons Lite. I made a tutorial to make it works with Suffusion.

Anyway, you can contact me if you have an issue with any of my plugins (read my support page on my website).

I read it is possible to display one icon per category.

I'd like to do this with Suffusion. Does anyone have any suggestions how?

I have set the max. to 8 (using cat icons light 1.2), but it doesn't seem to work. I want to display the hierarchy of my categories. E.g. I have articles (icon: a pen). Some articles are columns (a pen and a megaphone) and others are interviews (a pen and a microphone) etc. All I get is one icon per category. A pen for articles, a megaphone for columns etc.

I've also sent a mail to submarine.

BTW: I see this is filed under bug report, not my intention!

Janbletz,
Have you tried the plugin author's support? This is the link: http://www.category-icons.com/troubleshooting/

I have, but he (or she) has not been very eh... responsive.
