I did a search but cannot seem to find an answer.

How do I set a specific image to display as the main image for each category?

Thank you!

I guess my heading should have said "Categories Image" as I need a separate image for each category in the gallery.

So I tried the instructions and I think I am missing something.

I uploaded the image that I want to display as the main image for a category. When I click on the folder that image is showing in the list with the other images. I would like the image to only show on the page that list the categories.

Thank you!

Hi :wink:
Image from the category - it can be random image but even an image with specific ordering (e.g. first image from the category will be set). If you want to display an image as category icon and you don't want to display such image in list of category, then you set the first image as unauthorized. Such image will be displayed as category icon but will be not displayed in list of images. (Don't forget to set right ordering of images which should be selected as folder icon, if you have unauthorized first image, then the ordering must be ordered by ordering, so the first unauthorized image will be selected)
Kind regards, Christine

Uh I saw that and I changed the image from "Authorized" to "Not authorized" but then it disappeared from the page and displayed another image instead.

When it says "then you set the first image as unauthorized." what does it mean by "first image" do I have to make the image that I want for the category the first image? Because in this case that is the first image :(

Thanks!

I still can't figure out how to not make the category image display with the rest of the images in that category :(

I read and re-read the instructions but I'm just not getting it.
