Adding Caption to Product Category Thumb

Resolved

(@chrissyb)

Hello everyone,

Can someone make a suggestion on how to simply add the image caption to the product category image. I’m using this code from :

add_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description', 'woocommerce_category_image', 2 );
function woocommerce_category_image() {
    if ( is_product_category() ){
	    global $wp_query;
	    $cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
	    $thumbnail_id = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
	    $image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
	    if ( $image ) {
		    echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="" />';
		}
	}
}

This would display it inside the post loop:

<?php the_post_thumbnail();
echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt; ?>

Unfortunately I do not know how to add that to the function. Would it be better to modify the page that is outputting the product category information?

Thanks whoever may take an interest 🙂

Where are you trying to add this, and how would it be displayed?

If its on archives, why not use category description instead?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for replying – it was Easter here so sorry for the delay.

I have text added via the category description, I just wanted to add a title to the image itself, just as you would via the editor.

Does that make sense…?

For the image itself (thumbnail) you can replace this function as it’s pluggable https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/includes/wc-template-functions.php#L1679-L1698

A pluggable function can be replaced by adding it to your theme functions.php. Your version will be used instead.

Hi Mike i did this:
```
add_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description', 'woocommerce_category_image', 2 );
function woocommerce_category_image() {
    if ( is_product_category() ){
	    global $wp_query;
	    $cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
	    $thumbnail_id = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
	    $image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
	    if ( $image ) {
	    	$meta = get_post($thumbnail_id);
		    $caption = !empty( $meta->post_excerpt ) ? $meta->post_excerpt : '';
		    echo '<figure class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_'.$thumbnail_id.'"><img alt="'.$caption.'" src="'.$image.'" class="wp-image-'.$thumbnail_id.' size-full"><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">'.$caption.'</figcaption></figure>';
		}
	}
}
```
