Sinulla täytyy olla vähintään v1.0.4. Kopioi ja liitä tämä koodi in your mallitiedosto (index.php, loop.php, jne.):
<?php if (function_exists('get_cat_icon_lite')) echo get_cat_icon_lite();?>
You can also give it the category id. If you want to display the icon for the category id number 3, you’d do that :
<?php echo get_cat_icon_lite(3); ?>

I wanted it to be simple to use : no more template tags !
It’ll work with a lot of themes. Just try. If you have an issue, make sure your template has the post title preceded by the permalink and its title :
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" ... title="<?php the_title(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?>
Or :
<a title="<?php the_title(); ?>" ... href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?>
For example, it’ll not work with the nice prototype theme, because it does not use the_permalink & the_title filters (from what I’ve seen).
How to use it :
1. Upload an image as usual via the Media Menu
2. Select the category you want to assign to the image
3. Save the changes

If you want to get only the icons URL, you need to copy and paste this function in your functions.php file :
function extract_caticonsurl($string,$return_always_array=FALSE) {
$myarray = array();
if (preg_match_all('/<img\s+.*?src=[\"\']?([^\"\' >]*)[\"\']?[^>]*>/i', $string, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)) {
foreach ($matches as $match) {
$myarray[] = $match[1];
}
}
if ($return_always_array === FALSE && count($myarray) == 1 ) $myarray = array_pop($myarray);
return $myarray;
}
And paste this code where you want to get the URL(s) :
$caticons_url = extract_caticonsurl(get_cat_icon('echo=false'));
The extract_caticonsurl function returns an array if there’re several icons, or a string (the URL) if there is only one.
From Daniels ( http://www.gameblogs.com.br/ ) :
I’ve got to make a widget that will show all category icons side-by-side, and not in a list. Here is the code :
$listing_code = ''; foreach(get_categories("orderby=count&order=DESC") as $category) { $listing_code .=get_cat_icon("echo=false&cat=".$category->cat_ID)." "; } $listing_code .= ''; echo $listing_code;
Thanks for sharing, Daniels. 
Update : If you want it in a widget, then you need to create a widget. Copy & paste the following code in a file named myciwidget.php in the default WordPress theme :
<?php
class MyCIWidget extends WP_Widget{
function MyCIWidget() {
$widget_ops = array(
'classname' => 'my_ci_widget', // widget id
'description' => 'displays category icons' ); // description
$this->WP_Widget('my_ci_widget', 'My CI Widget', $widget_ops);
}
function widget($args, $instance) {
$listing_code = '';
foreach(get_categories("orderby=count&order=DESC") as $category) {
$listing_code .=get_cat_icon("echo=false&cat=".$category->cat_ID)." ";
}
$listing_code .= '';
echo $listing_code;
}
}
Then, in your functions.php file, paste this :
include_once('myciwidget.php');
register_widget('MyCIWidget');
You should be able to add the widget to your sidebar.
The plugin received a 4.3 out of 5 in this article written by Rene, in his blog WordPress Plugin Guide :

Thanks Rene.
Just download the plugin (again) if you want it…

I’ve written a function that seems to be working. I think I’m going to include it in a future version of my Category Icons plugin. So, you can have page icons the same way you have category icons in the sidebar.
The following code will add icons in front of the title page in the sidebar when you use the Pages widget. You can see that I’ve used a filter named widget_pages_args to add the filter wp_list_pages in order to parse the HTML generated by wp_list_pages. It’s because I want to display icons only in the sidebar and nowhere else.
To use that code : Continue reading
To display the icons in the sidebar, you have 2 solutions :
1. Use the widget
Go to Appearance > Widgets and drag Category Icons Widget to the right. You can have multiple Category Icons widgets.
Category Icons Widget
Category Icons Widget Settings
2. Manually
In the sidebar.php page of your WordPress theme, you must use the put_cat_icons function .
In a previous post , I described how to do this with the help of another plugin : Page Category Plus, but this plugin does not exist anymore, so here is another way to do that.
I’ll use the theme “ lightword ” for this how to. There is 2 parts :
1. Assign a category to a page
When you’re editing the page, go to the Custom Fields, and add : caticons_page as the key, and in the value field, enter the ID of the category to which the icon is assigned to. It’s like assigning a category to a page.
The icon is assigned to the category ID 4
Use the Custom Fields to display a "Page Icon"
2. Use the get_cat_icon tag to display the icon
In the page.php file, after this line : Continue reading
Well, this is a kind of a hack of Krischan Jodies’s popular plugin : Get Recent Comments . Just before this line of code :
$output = str_replace("%comment_link", $comment_link, $output);
add these lines : Continue reading
This is said in the website wpbeginner , in this post :

Pictures make a site more lively which is a given which is why blogger might want to associate pictures with their category. This plugin lets you associate a specific icon of your choice to a designated category. You can use this plugin to list categories by icon with or without names, and much more.
This is what John Owen said in his post in Web Media Magazine : http://www.webmediamagazine.com/webdesign/50-different-ways-to-vastly-improve-your-wordpress-blog/
Usually the sidebar is clogged up with meta data, advertisement’s and tag clouds. We sometimes miss the categories in all the mess, assigning images to your categorys is a great way to fix this and will help your visitors navigate your blog with ease.
This is what John Pratt said in his post in WPHacks : http://wphacks.com/10-ways-to-improve-navigation-in-wordpress/
Having your categories a post is assigned to listed and linked is a great way to get visitors to view everything else you have posted in that category, but sometimes (like “ad blindness) readers are blinded to post meta info. Solve that by assigning images to your categories, so that they stand out prominently! All you need is the Category Icons plugin.
And I agree.
Adam of WordPress Modder has written an how to of this :
Using the Category-Icons plugin and Thematic to create custom category pages
RushiKumar has written a tutorial on how to do this in GuidesForge.com :
http://www.guidesforge.com/how-to/adding-trails-in-category-icons
There are 2 filters :
1. category_icons
It can be used with the get_cat_icon tag. Examples of how to use it :
How to assign a specific icon for a post
How to modify the category icons through functions.php
2. category_icons_widget
It can be used with put_cat_icons tag. A how to needs to be written.
Sometimes, you need to use the tag get_cat_icon or/and put_cat_icons in a script. So to get the icon in a variable, it must not be displayed. The parameter to not display the category and to get it returned is : echo , and it needs to be set to false . Here are examples of how to use it. If your script is not in the Loop , you must use the cat parameter and give it a category id . Continue reading
