Embed clickable image in category description?

    Hello,

    We want to buy the Pro version of Draw Attention, but came across an issue when testing the free version. Is there a way to embed the clickable image in the category description instead of on a page?

    What we want to achieve: our blog posts are categorized with wordpress category tags. E.g. all our posts about Ethiopia have the ‘Ethiopia’ category tag which is then used as a link in our navigation menu: https://sayyestonewadventures.com/category/africa/ethiopia/ (this page is automatically generated by wordpress because it links to a category, so it is not a page created by us). On this page we want to embed our Draw Attention image (a clickable map of Ethiopia, above the currently existing thumbnails linking to each individual post in this category.

    So far we have only been able to embed the map of Ethiopia on pages that we have created ourselves. If we enter the code in the description field for our Category Ethiopia, it does not appear as the clickable image in the above category page.

    Does anyone know how we can achieve embedding the clickable image in a category page?

    Thanks in advance!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there, sometimes your theme supports shortcodes on those category pages, and other times you might have to add some custom code to make it work. It sounds like you’ve tried to enter it in the category description but it doesn’t show up or doesn’t render shortcodes.

    It sounds like you’d need a developer to look at the hooks available in your theme, and then attach something like
    echo do_shortcode( '[drawattention]' ); to your category page

    If your theme supports widgetized areas, you could use the “shortcode widget” and put [drawattention] in that way

    Please post back if you have any further questions.

    Thanks,
    Nathan
