hello everyone,
I think im on the verge of figuring this out after spending alot of time reading php tutorials, but I think i might be missing a few key things as im a beginner!
With the code below, I have $display_categories set as an array with 5 categories. The single_cat_title() function prints the link to the category on the front page, which is sweet and that works pefectly and stuff, but I want a specific image to be shown right below each specific category (so img 1 goes below category 23, image 2 for 24, and so on).
I tried setting the img url's as variables to be put into array $catimg, but when I try to call the images with <img src=""> under the foreach loop, they do not come up.
Hopefully as im a beginner I'm just missing something obvious, but if an expert could provide their opinion and show me my error, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!!
<?php
// this is where you enter the IDs of which categories you want to display
$display_categories = array(23,24,21,19,20);
// defines image locations for array
$bikebutton = 'img url 1';
$climbbutton = 'img url 2';
$hikebutton = 'img url 3';
$snowbutton = 'img url 4';
$waterbutton = 'img url 5';
//defines image array
$catimg = array ($bikebutton, $climbbutton, $hikebutton, $snowbutton, $waterbutton);
foreach ($display_categories as $category) { ?>
<div class="clearfloat">
<?php query_posts("showposts=1&cat=$category");
$wp_query->is_category = true;
$wp_query->is_archive = false;
$wp_query->is_home = true;
?>
<h3><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category);?>"><?php
// this is where the name of each category gets printed
single_cat_title(); ?></a></h3>
<img src="<?php echo $catimg?>">
</div>
<?php } ?>
