Category Images, Placeholders and Image Size

The image options control the thumbnails shown next to each related category in Related Categories for WooCommerce. You can pick the image size, set a fallback image for categories with none, or remove the images entirely. These options are free.

Find them under Image Options at WPFactory > Related Categories (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Related Categories), on the Single or Archives sub-tab.

Image Options for Related Categories for WooCommerce

Options reference #

Label Option ID (array key) Type Default
Image size image_size Select woocommerce_thumbnail
Placeholder image placeholder_image Text (empty)
Remove image remove_image Checkbox No

Image size #

Image size is the registered WordPress image size used for the category thumbnails. It defaults to woocommerce_thumbnail. The list contains the intermediate image sizes registered on your site, so you can switch to a larger or smaller size to match your layout.

Placeholder image #

Placeholder image sets the image used for categories that have no thumbnail. Enter an attachment ID or a full image URL. Left empty, the standard WooCommerce placeholder image is used instead.

Remove image #

Remove image hides the category thumbnails entirely. It applies only when Template type is set to Default. If you use a Custom template, control the image yourself by including or omitting the %category_image_link% placeholder in your markup.
