Image for CPT taxonomy terms result

[frasermartin]

I have created a search instance that includes searching CPT taxonomy terms. This is working nicely and the first search result returns the term and the count. But how do I get that result to show an image, even a default image would be fine?

Hope you can help.

Regards
Fraser

Hi Fraser,

It depends. By default there are no category images in WordPress. If you use a plugin to attach images to taxonomy terms, then let me know, I might be able to suggest a custom code to parse those images as well.

If you only need a default result image, when nothing is found, you can define that under the General Options -> Image Options panel: https://i.imgur.com/vxFXAfz.png

Thank you Ernest. I am already using the default result image, which for example on pages with no featured image, correctly show the default image I have set. But for some reason the taxonomy term result doesn’t show the default image. I checked the html output and no div.asp_item_img is output for that item. The taxonomy term has been correctly added to the General Options -> Sources 2. And it shows as the first search result item, including the correct items found count. But no default image shown.

The taxonomy is created by CMB2 plugin. I will investigate if there is a way to set a taxonomy feature image in the code.

In the meantime, is there a filter I can use in functions.php to set an image when none has been found?

I think this is going to be a bug. I investigated the code, and it seems like the default image control is missing from the term results section. I will make sure to correct that for the upcoming release.

In the meantime, this custom code should help you out. Add this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory (copy from line 3 only!). Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!

(change the $default_image_url variable to the default image URL desired)

Thank you Ernest. Filter fixes it.
