Hi, I've followed this "how to" https://toolset.com/forums/topic/taxonomy-images-issue/ to display the image of a taxonomy and it works perfectly thanks!
I would know like that the name of the taxonomy shows on hover and that on click to be redirected to the archive page of that taxonomy item. I have been able to display them all side by side but I would like the link to be in the image and the name to only be on hover. I've tried by simply putting the meta of the image but it's not working.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Laura,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Can you share with me the exact code that you are using to display the image ? I should be able to modify this so that you can get your desired output.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane, thanks.
So far it looks like this

[wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
	<wpv-loop>
		[types termmeta='image' title='%%TITLE%%' size='full'][/types]</a>
	</wpv-loop>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]
	[wpv-no-items-found]
		<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
	[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

So I've managed to add the title on hover, I juste would like to add the link to the taxonomy archive within the image.
thanks 🙂

Hi Laura,

Awesome you should be able to make it a link by doing this.

       <a href='[wpv-taxonomy-url]'> [types termmeta='image' title='%%TITLE%%' size='full'][/types]</a>

Please try this and let me know if it helps.
Thanks,
Shane
