This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to conditionally display some images based on the taxonomy attached to a post on an Archive layout.
Solution:
It won't be exactly possible to do with the taxonomy archive, with the general archive like that. Instead it is possible on the individual term archive.
The reason is because you are going to need to know individually which term is attached to the current post being listed. So in the archive it won't be possible.
It is possible to do with a multiple view setup. Where at first you will need a view to first list the taxonomy terms in that taxonomy. Then a second view to list all the posts that belongs to each of those taxonomies.
Take a look at this documentation below.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-a-child-view-in-a-taxonomy-view-layout/#taxonomy-view-with-a-post-view-for-a-child
From the example you see there are 4 categories Technology,Sport,Environment,Auto and that each is listing their relevant posts below them.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Display a different thumbnail image for each post category:
all posts in category A should have thumbnail imageA.jpg,
all posts in category B should have thumbnail imageB.jpg
etc. as shown in the screenshot.
using this code in the content template for my archive:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-archive-title]' eq 'categoryA' )"]
<img src="hidden link" class="mediumsize"/>
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-archive-title]' eq 'categoryB' )"]
<img src="hidden link" class="mediumsize"/>
[/wpv-conditional]
<h3 class="entry-header">[wpv-post-title]</h3>
<div class="entry-content">
[wpv-post-excerpt]
</div>
But I can't get this to work. Am I using the wrong conditional? How can I get this to work?
I also tried [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-taxonomy-slug]' eq 'verkennen' )"], but this didn't work either.
