Hello,

I want to include a featured image at the top of all category pages.
Currently it formats very badly if you use an "over the content (absolute)" header. See http://islamic-literacy.org/category/quranic-translation. If you use the static header it works ok like your template:

https://demo.kaliumtheme.com/education/category/academy

However, I want a featured image like this page: http://islamic-literacy.org/translation-resources.

I already downloaded a plugin to make categories allow for a featured image. But it seems your template does not have code to recognize this.
Can you help?

Hi,

I have added the following code in functions.php to show slider on category page:

// Show slider in category pages
add_action( 'kalium_header_main_heading_title_before', function() {
	if ( is_category() ) {
		$content = '[rev_slider alias="blog"]';
		echo do_shortcode( $content );
	}
} );

And the page looks like:

(view large version)

The CSS I have added to add a little margin for the content is this:

.archive.category div#rev_slider_2_1_forcefullwidth {
    margin-bottom: 20px !important;
}

I hope this will work for you.

Arlind,

This will work fine but it doesn't seem to have been updated. See http://islamic-literacy.org/category/translations/.

Can you advise if the change can be made? Also, if I make the change myself will next updates maintain this change?

Hi thynksheraze,
I checked your page and I saw that the slider was showing just like previously when I helped you:

If you want to always apply the custom code, then install this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/my-custom-functions/
And then put the code on plugin and it will be used always even when you update the theme.
